McCarthy, Tessa; Holbrook, Cay; Kamei-Hannan, Cheryl; D'Andrea, Frances Mary – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2023
This study provides information on the use of a refreshable braille display in relation to reading speeds and accuracy for students with visual impairments. The characteristics and variables which were statistically significant predictors of reading speed were explored. Forty-nine students in grades 1-9 participated with their teachers of students…

Sarah E. Wegwerth; Gianna J. Manchester; Julia E. Winter – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2023
Introduction: Visual model comprehension and application are important for success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. As educational materials shift to primarily digital content with dynamic interactive visuals, students with visual impairments are at risk for being disadvantaged, since few interactives are born…

Thomson, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, 2020
With approximately six million people who are blind, between the ages of 16-75+ years of age in the U.S., audio description (AD) is one way to increase people with disabilities' access when visual images are involved (American Council of the Blind, 2019). Snyder (2014) described AD as a verbal description of a program (i.e., performing arts,…

National Council on Disability, 2020
NCD conducted a comprehensive analysis of the AbilityOne Program to determine whether it promotes Congress' goal of improving employment opportunities for people who are blind or have significant disabilities. Today, the program is made of a government-appointed Commission and staff, three central nonprofit agencies (CNAs) that facilitate the…

Ran Peleg; Orly Lahav; Noha Hagab; Vadim Talis; Sharona T. Levy – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Students who are blind are integrated into public schools in many countries, yet are often excluded from full participation in science since most learning materials are visual. To create a compensatory route, an existing model-based inquiry-learning environment was adapted by means of sonification (addition of non-speech sounds that…

Melissa Fanshawe; Melissa Cain – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
Students with blindness and low vision (BLV) are less likely to choose mathematics as a subject in the senior secondary years which may negatively impact future employment opportunities. Using a longitudinal qualitative methodology, three interviews were recorded with a student who is legally blind over a six-year period. Findings suggest that…

M. Ally Keene; Justin A. Haegele; Lindsay E. Ball; Lindsey A. Nowland; Xihe Zhu – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore blind and visually impaired students' opinions on ways to improve physical education. Method: Twenty-two blind and visually impaired youth (age 12-17 years) completed one-to-one interviews. Three themes were constructed using a reflexive thematic analysis approach. Findings: The first theme…

Dominguez-Reyes, R.; Moreno, L.; Munoz-Sanchez, A.; Ruiz Mezcua, B.; Savoini, B. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This article presents the design, creation, testing, and results after the use of a 3-D-printed educational tool that helped a blind student learning electric circuits theory in higher education. Background: Educational tools oriented to visually impaired and blind students in higher education are limited or even nonexistent in the…

Díaz-Navarro, Sonia; Sánchez De La Parra-Pérez, Santiago – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
In recent decades, the application and adaptation of new technologies have gradually become invaluable in education. When the students are visually impaired, the use of these technologies becomes even more valuable. In this line, a theoretical-practical workshop on human evolution was carried out with 25 students from the Spanish National…

Wu, Hsiang-Ping – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2023
Introduction: This study examines teaching strategies that help enhance learning motivation in individuals with blindness to facilitate improved learning of figurative concepts: attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction (ARCS). We began by teaching the origin of life and the reproductive system in the first unit of the relatively lacking…

Penrose, Rebecca Bryant – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2023
Online instructional tools are quickly being introduced, often before accessibility is incorporated into their design. This article defends the use of a popular, but highly graphic, web-based platform called Padlet in a writing course, using strategies that allow students who are visually impaired (i.e., those who are blind or have low vision) to…

Ivy, Sarah E.; Ledford, Jennifer R. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2022
Restricted or repetitive behavior (RRB) is common for individuals with visual impairment (VI), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and intellectual disability. Previous reviews have suggested that VI may moderate the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to decrease RRB. A search of the single case literature resulted in 30 studies and 40…

Akarsu, Murat; Kizilaslan, Aydin; Simsek, Onder – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
Regardless of the cost and long preparation time, tactile materials are increasingly being used in science and mathematics education for students with visual impairment. In this study, a hands-on tactile activity related to making magnets using a STEM educational approach for students with visual impairment are introduced.

Wudmatas, Daniel – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
To the knowledge of the present researcher, studies on the experience of blind students in the Ethiopian higher education institutions are very limited, and thus this study is meant to make some contribution on the subject. The study focused on the experiences of 22 blind students, randomly picked from two campuses of Bahir Dar University. To that…
