Adjustments for students with vision impairments should be made in planning, teaching and assessment to ensure equitable access to the curriculum. There are many great teaching resources available to assist professionals working with people with vision impairment to implement access technology.
We strongly encourage you to look at Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind’s Framework for Implementing Access Technology . While this focuses on early education, it provides a wealth of information and systematic method for teaching technology.
Take a look at the Tutorials for implementing Access Technology with links to typing and braille tutors, as well as accessibility tutorials.
