Chapter 8: Technology for Students with Visual Impairments
- Visual impairments are categorized on the basis of corrected visual acuity-that is, how well a person sees when wearing glasses or contact lenses.
- Students with visual impairments often benefit from mobility and orientation training and instruction in using Braille.
- Instruction for students with visual impairments should include concrete experiences, unifying themes, and hands-on activities.
- Braille technologies, screen readers, and speech recognition software increase students' access to text-based information.
