How Can Schools Accommodate The Needs Of Blind And Visually Impaired Students?
From elementary school through university, here are some of the accommodations schools can -- and in some cases do -- make for students who are blind or visually impaired:- Notes, handouts, and texts distributed in tape, braille, or electronic format
- Verbal descriptions of visual aids
- Raised-line drawings and tactile models of graphic materials
- Braille lab signs and equipment labels; auditory lab warning signals
- Adaptive lab equipment (e.g., talking thermometers, talking calculators, light probes, and tactile timers)
- Computer with screen reader (e.g., JAWS), vocal output, braille screen display and printer output
