Today, there are many more schools for the blind and deaf to attend. There are many more assistive technologies to help students who are blind and deaf so that they can also be mainstreamed into regular schools instead of having to be placed in a separate school. Click the Picture!
I think that all of the new assistive technology is very helpful not only for the students but for the teachers as well. When I was teaching we only had Braille and sign language to help our students but today there are many different ways to help students to learn. I also believe that it is good that they are taking these strides in helping the blind and deaf so that they can function well in society.
I would tell these educators to have a lot of patience and keep trying with their pupils. You have to keep trying and do not give up on them. Everyone has the right to education regardless if they have a disability. Don’t give up hope and keep trying! Good luck! Click the Picture!
