Rina Agustina; Nurul Farida; Muhammad Irfan – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2024
Blind students exclusively use braille materials for teaching math. Teaching tools that assist blind students' motor and hearing nerves are essential for learning. This study was to describe learning mathematics outcomes for blind students after using teaching material for Android devices based on Newman's theory. This research was a case study of…

Papadimitriou, Vassilios; Argyropoulos, Vassilios – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: The main objective of the present study was to examine the effect of word length, word frequency and number of syllables on graphemic errors during a text-reading task via the braille code. Method: Thirty students with severe visual impairments participated in the present study. They were invited individually to read aloud a number of…

Chung, Seungwon; Cai, Li – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2021
In the research reported here, we propose a new method for scale alignment and test scoring in the context of supporting students with disabilities. In educational assessment, students from these special populations take modified tests because of a demonstrated disability that requires more assistance than standard testing accommodation. Updated…

Kapperman, Gaylen; Kelly, Stacy M.; LeRette-Kauffman, Heidi – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2021
There is a critical need for Americans to study foreign languages to support the United States' participation in a global economy, commitment to national security, and actions in the political arena. However, there is a lack of American students learning what the US Department of State refers to as "critical languages," which are less…

Bartholomew, Scott; Goodridge, Wade; Shaheen, Natalie – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2020
In 2002 the World Health Organization (WHO) analyzed available data on Blindness and Low Vision (BLV) from 55 countries and applied it to the 17 WHO epidemiological subregions. Results indicate approximately 37 million people are blind and 124 million have low vision (Foster & Resnikoff, 2005). Providing opportunities for these students to…

Kapperman, Gaylen; Ortner, Adrian; Midgley, Siobhan – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2021
The BrailleNote Touch+ (BNT+) can be a valuable tool for students who are blind who are learning a second or third language. Kapperman, Koster, and Burman (2018) stressed the importance of using a screen reader, as well as a braille display, when learning a foreign language because it allows a student to not only orally learn the language but also…

Martiniello, Natalina; Barlow, Meaghan; Wittich, Walter – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Tactile, motor and cognitive capacities decline with age, but little is known about how this relates to braille reading outcomes. This study investigated correlates of braille reading speed among working-age and older adults. Texts were read in two modes (oral/silent) and two media (paper/electronic braille display) by 46 blind adults (age range…
