Earlier studies indicate that visually impaired teachers are capable of performing as effectively in the classroom as the sighted teachers. The present study was aimed at exploring the visually impaired teachers working in schools and in Higher Education Programmes and to assess their teaching competency. A sample of 60 teachers with 30 each from schools and higher education programme was selected. The results revealed that a majority of the teachers showed teaching competency at moderate level. Gender did not influence teaching competency .Teaching Competency and type of working environment (School /Higher education Programme) did not influence. Another interesting finding was that application of technology had positive correlation influencing use of a variety of teaching methods, better Student Evaluation Procedure and Independency in teaching and movement. The authors in this paper highlight relevant supporting literature and a detailed method of administering this study.
