| Visual Impairments |  Children with visual impairments should be assessed early to take advantage of early intervention programs, when applicable. Such technology as computers and low-vision optical and video aids enable many partially sighted, low vision and blind children to participate in regular class activities. Such children can use large print materials, books on tape, and braille books are available.
Children with visual impairments may need additional help with special equipment and modifications in the regular curriculum to emphasize listening skills, communication, orientation and mobility, vocation/career options, and daily living skills. Children with low vision or those who are legally blind may need help in using their residual vision more efficiently and in working with special aids and materials. Children who have visual impairments combined with other types of disabilities have a greater need for an interdisciplinary approach and may require greater emphasis on self care and daily living skills.
