From the supplier: The trend in classroom education is toward increased usage of material based on the visual experience, supplementing spoken and written text, which can create challenges for visually impaired students. A case study of a visually impaired student's experiences in a graduate program in Information and Communication Sciences at Ball State University, Muncie, IN, is discussed. The conclusion is that visually impaired students are actually a gift to a teacher, providing a reason and an opportunity for using the best teaching techniques suggested for all presentations. Assisting a visually impaired student requires verbalizing what has been read or is being seen, which causes everyone to employ an additional sense and store information in additional locations.
