Strategies in learning and teaching children who are visually impaired.

1.Encourage the student to use visual aids/resources that have been prescribed (e.g. glasses, magnifiers, big-print books, etc).
2.Seat the student appropriately in the classroom (e.g. in the middle towards the front).
3.Make sure lighting is suitable.

4.If possible ensure lights are coming from behind or to the side of the student.
5.Give clear instructions as the student may misinterpret gestures and facial expressions.
Consider the use of enlarged print/magnified worksheets.
6.The less configurations on a page the better (worksheets can be cut in strips and stapled together to present less work at a time).
7.Print materials need to be clear and dark.
6.Have lined paper for assignments (the darker the lines the better).
