Chapter 8 – Assistive Technology for Vision and Hearing Successful Strategies for Working with Students with Vision Impairments For successful integration of students with visual impairments into a general education classroom, the learning environment should: ♦ Welcome all students ♦ Appeal to all senses (multisensory) in its approach to curriculum ♦ Be open to investigation ♦ Provide flexibility for lighting changes and/or size of work area changes ♦ Be hazard free ♦ Provide easy access to vision supplies ♦ Provide sensory clues for orientation to surroundings ♦ Allow freedom of movement within the classroom or work area for viewing materials at close range Classroom materials should be adapted to meet the needs of the student with vision impairment, including classroom assessments and standardized testing. The Vision program when necessary will provide Braille and/or large print texts. In addition, the classroom materials can: ♦ Be adapted by the vision teacher when given to him or her in a timely manner ♦ Be more effective if a desk-top copy is provided of material presented on the board ♦ Be more easily understood if worksheets are uncluttered and adapted with clear, dark outlines and symbols Instructional strategies should: ♦ Include verbal descriptions of visual activities ♦ Include verbalization of routines for ease of transition ♦ Allow for physical prompts (e.g. hand-over hand) with the student’s consent ♦ Be multisensory in approach ♦ Pair classmates or small groups when appropriate as an option for completing tasks ♦ Allow adequate or extra time to complete assignments and or examinations ♦ Allow brief periods of rest during activities that require extensive use of visual skills ♦ Include the use of actual experiences and real objects to introduce new concepts ♦ Allow flexibility for the vision teacher to observe or participate within the classroom Access to textbooks can include: ♦ Magnifiers with regular or large print ♦ Special lighting (lamps, seat placement, etc.) ♦ Large print ♦ Reading stand Assessing Students’ Needs for Assistive Technology (2004) 196
Chapter 8 – Assistive Technology for Vision and Hearing ♦ Closed circuit TVs (CCTV) ♦ Taped materials reader ♦ Scanner with optical character recognition ♦ Braille ♦ Tactual maps and diagrams ♦ Line markers/tachistoscopes ♦ Colored acetate overlays Written work and assignments can be accomplished with such aids as: ♦ Paper: bold lined, tactual lined, or Braille paper ♦ Markers: fine line, bold line, etc. ♦ CCTV ♦ Braille writer ♦ Tape recorder ♦ Cubarithms, abacus for math calculation ♦ Talking calculators ♦ Tachistoscopes ♦ Tactual rulers, voice output measuring devices, talking watches and clocks ♦ Manipulatives such as counters or MathLine ♦ Computer with voice output and enlargement software ♦ Templates and writing grids Board work, projected presentations and group programs can be accessed through: ♦ Monocular aids ♦ Preferential seating ♦ Desk top copies ♦ Oral presentation/interpretation Demonstrations can be assisted through the use of: ♦ Hands on activities ♦ Real objects ♦ Monocular aids ♦ Magnifiers ♦ Closed circuit TVs Note: This was adapted from an unknown source.
