Inclusion practices have been spreading for students with visual impairments. The resource room is one of the service delivery options of inclusion settings. Students with visual impairments might need additional accommodations and receive them in a resource room. The purpose of this study is to explore how resource room teachers describe resource room practices based on their experiences with students with visual impairments in a resource room. A national survey was administered to teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) in the USA to describe resource room practices. The results indicate that the collaboration between resource room teachers and general education teachers on academic goals is more than social and behavioral goals. Additionally, the collaboration between resource room teachers and parents on social and behavioral goals is more than on academic goals. Lack of consultation and collaboration with regular education teachers and inadequate learning space/room conditions are main barriers that impede the efficiency of the resource room practices for students with visual impairments.
