Blind Students

How to teach a blind students


Provide tactile learning experiences. When you are teaching a class with visually impaired or blind students, you should try and incorporate tactile learning experiences whenever possible. For example, instead of talking about rocks and showing images of different types of rocks, you should actually have physical rocks available in the classroom for the students to touch and handle

Give visually impaired or blind students additional time to complete work. In some instances visually impaired or blind students may need extra time to complete their assignments and tests. This is typically because reading braille or using some form of technological aide can take additional time.

  • Although you want to give an appropriate amount of time for visually impaired or blind students to complete their work, you do not want them use their vision as an excuse to hand in work late. Set deadlines and make sure they stick to them.

Deaf Students

Deaf students are just like all other students, except they have a hearing impairment. When dealing with deaf students, the use of technology can greatly help your interactions, increase the speed and ease of your interactions, help them learn, and allow you and the student to interact much easier. If you are dealing with deaf students in your life, there are ways to help them.

Convert written words to sound. In order for your deaf students to feel as if they are participating like other students, look into software that will convert any text they type into spoken words. This way, your deaf students can participate in your class discussions without you having to read his responses.

  • There are computer programs available that will convert the messages that a deaf student writes into spoken phrases. Have this program installed on a few computers in your classroom so your deaf student can use them.
  • Also look into licensing the software for your student’s personal laptop so he can use it in class as well.
  • Try to prepare your other students for the different way the computerized voice will sound. You want to make your deaf student feel included without the others students calling him out for being different.
