teachers working with students who are visually
Introduction • Educators who are not specifically trained in assisting children with
visual impairments
often wonder how they can adjust their teaching to help students be more successful in the classroom.
Allow low vision children to choose their seat • It can be both embarrassing and unnecessary to single out a student with low vision and force them to sit in a particular seat because you feel it provides them with the best view of the board. • Allow students with low vision to take control of their learning and identify the location that is best for them.
Read what you write on the board out loud • Teachers should vocalize the text they write on a blackboard, white-board or smartboard to help visually impaired students who may be struggling to read the text. • This may be due to anything from text size, to distance from the board, angle of sight, glare from a window or clarity of print. • It can also be useful to provide a paper handout of materials that are presented on the board, or an electronic copy for which the text can be enlarged, to make it easier for students to follow along without tiring.
Use paper handouts printed in high-quality • Many elementary school activities and resources are photocopied and provided as paper handouts. • It’s crucial to ensure they are printed with strong contrasting colors as opposed to faded greys, to make it easier for the visually impaired student to read them. • Additionally, handouts can be emailed to the child who can use text to speech facilities to make access easier.
