Online Submission, JURNAL EDUCATIVE: Journal of Educational Studies v8 n2 p117-132 2023
Students who are visually impaired but receive adequate support at an early stage have a greater chance of progressing in their academics and future careers. In this research article, the author identified various practice guidelines that can help students with visual impairments achieve a successful transition into the world of work. To discuss available practice guidelines for students from this population, the author conducted a narrative-integrative literature review. According to the study findings, teachers and schools have practical roles to play in assessing and administering educational programs for these students, as well as in utilizing assistive technologies. Further, the study provided guidelines for encouraging career transitions among these students, what is expected of their parents and caregivers, how to provide social and emotional support to these students, and ways to improve their access to library resources. This research contributes to advancing teachers', parents', librarians', and counsellors' knowledge about how to best assist students with visual impairments. The study concluded that ongoing training is critical for all relevant stakeholders, including school administrators, parents, and teachers of visually impaired students.
