Correct Answer - Option 2 : provided support with audio CDs
A child with visual impairment is integrated into the school for sighted children, the better it is for the child's development and learning. However, to make this possible, the head of the school, general teachers and special teachers have to develop strategies so that the integration takes place in the real sense of the word.
Using appropriate teaching-learning materials is vital for children with visual impairment. Some teaching-learning materials are readily available in the market, whereas some have to be made by the parent-teacher. The following are some of the common teaching-learning materials available in the market for educating children with visual impairment:
- Braille slate and stylus
- Braillers
-
Audio cassettes or CDs can also be used for teaching purposes.
- The video materials should also have audio so that those without sight can understand what is being shown on the video.
- A variety of tactile aids (including the use of relief papers, which provide upward tactile impressions, for preparing geometrical figures)
- Braille reading readiness material
- Embossed maps
- Mobility maps of the city or village where the individual studies/ lives
- Inch and centimetre graph sheets using the brailler
- Low vision aids
Hence, we can conclude that a student with visual impairment' should be provided support with audio CDs.
