BLIND STUDENTS IN OUR SCHOOLS

     In this video we can see some advice to treat blind students in a proper way.

    The first thing is to say one's name while talking in class so that the blind student can easily identify who is speaking.

   

    We have to take into account that it's hard for a person with vision impairment to make friends and therefore we must take this issue seriously and put into place a lot of activities which facilitate the contact with  the other students.

     Then, they talk about braille and the devices used to write braille: there are  laptops  without screen but with a braille keyboard; and  it's also  important to put labels all around the class for the blind student in the same way as there is braille in a lift for instance, to know the floor where you want to  go.  and  moreover, we don't have to forget people who can see but need to enlarge the images and  letters because they have low vision.

     Finally, they talk about the importance of moving around the class and to locate all things in  order to become more and more  independent.
