People who are visually impaired may have
special needs, but that does not prevent them
from leading successful lives at home, work or
school. Students will be introduced to children
who are visually impaired to understand their
special communications needs and will come to
appreciate the visually impaired .
Rational on Visual Impairment

In an era of inclusion and collaboration, educators on all
levels need information about the myriad ways in which
technology can enhance the performance capabilities of
these visually impaired students, facilitate participation in
instructional activities, and improve scholastic
achievement. There are several kinds of assistive
technologies available to visually –impaired students that
can be incorporated into the classroom setting. This
presentation explores practical ways teachers can made
utilize tech for the visual impaired.

"Visual impairment including blindness" means an impairment in
vision that, even with correction, adversely affects a child's
educational performance. The term includes both partial sight and
blindness. This impairment refers to abnormality of the eyes, the
optic nerve or the visual center for the brain resulting in decreased
visual acuity.
What is visual impairment?

Cognitively, students can attend to various tasks at the same time.
Academically, technology allows users to feel a part of the classroom and develop reading and phonetic skills.
Linguistically, students can develop and understanding of the difference between written and spoken forms of language.
Behaviorally, It fosters better communication with the user and the instructor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzbASVir8qo
Benefits of technology use to aid visual impairment

Examples of Technologies used to aid visual impairment
Text to speech software-this application can be use on desk-top,
laptop and iPod, cell phones etc. It is a
software application that simple reads pre-recorded text aloud for students.
Type to speech or Braille and speech device- reads the letters and words as students type.
Voice recognition software-allows
students to take note in the class and also request the device to
find something
Audio books-reads story and informational
text for students

Text to speech devices
Practical ways or strategies teachers can utilize these
technologies as a learning tool
These devices can be use across the curriculum . For instance, reading comprehension students can listen to stories just by simple touching bottoms then use another form of visual tech device to answer the questions. This can aid in fluency, listening skill and word pronunciation etc. (type to speech device (laptop) watch this video

Students will listen to the story” Three little pigs” via the laptop
Say what they learnt about and from the story
Record in their now words the beginning, middle and ending of the story using any text to speech device
This will test students understanding of the story and the use of the technology
Practical ways teachers can use the Text to speech devices

This device is a powerful tech tool that can we use at dictation and spelling.
Here is how it works Teachers reads a passage of scrip or words
for student to type. As they type the device reads the scrip or words out loud.
Practical way teachers can use the type to speech device

Braille Displays
Braille displays are hardware that enables visually impaired students to read. Teacher can prepare the same reading lesson and using this device, blind students can open documents and edit , and browse the Internet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFQMLc2vO4U&feature=related

Voice recognition software
Voice recognition software can be used to facilitate various stages of the writing process, it can be fine-tuned for specific writing assignments in various subjects such as history or science.

Audio/braille books
This device can be used to facilitate reading for visually impaired students. The books can be read in Braille or with synthesized speech software, and contains page numbers, information from the title page, and mark-up indicators to direct users to the beginning of chapters and pages.

I am visual impaired, yet I can
Learn it
Play it Create it

There are no barriers to my abilities. With the
help of assistive technologies I can remove all
barriers and be anything I want to be.
