Effectively Accommodating Low-Vision students

What makes accommodating a low-vision student difficult? Stigma: Accessible documents Distance viewing in the classroom Testing Visual material

Stigma Don’t understand the range of visual impairment “pretending to be blind” Don’t want to be seen as a burden “Can’t do things for themselves”

Accessible Materials More than Braille Enlarged text and/or print Magnification technology Audio/ Text to Speech Screen readers

Visual Material Heavily visual classes (art, geography, geology) Videos and images Audio descriptions Tactile images Vague language (over there, see here)

Technology solutions Seeing PowerPoints and lecture materials: Magnilink The low tech solution: human readers Zoom Text, Jaws, TTS, speech-to-text How do you provide tech accommodations for a low-tech student?

Testing Process Is the exam in the correct format? Is the right technology available at the testing site? Emergency procedure if not? Preference vs access: why that preference?
