Nahar, Lutfun; Sulaiman, Riza; Jaafar, Azizah – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
Android platform-based educational software for visually impaired students (VIS) are widely available, but very few of them are in Bangla. Due to the lack of low-cost Bangla Braille-based technologies, VIS depends on the traditional slate and stylus to learn Braille. This study proposes a Braille-based educational software, Bangla Braille Learning…

Kapperman, Gaylen; Kelly, Stacy M.; Koster, Elizabeth – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2018
Methods commonly used to enhance the language-learning experiences of students who are visually impaired (that is, those who are blind or have low vision), are not sufficient for foreign language learning. There are several challenges involved in the study of foreign languages by students who are visually impaired. One of the most pressing of…

Yu, Sun; Chunlian, Li – International Journal of Special Education, 2019
Late-blind people, who adventitiously became blind in their adulthood, are a special group of the blind. Each of them has his/her own characteristics when returning to work. In this paper, methods on how late-blind teachers can effectively lecture sighted students are presented based on experience of authors with blindness. For late-blind…

Winter, Phoebe C.; Hansen, Mark; McCoy, Michelle – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2019
In order to accurately assess the English language proficiency of special populations of English learners, student assessment programs must maintain the comparability of standard and modified assessment formats, allowing for equivalent inferences to be made across student classifications. However, given the typically small size of special…

Dhamdhere, Sangeeta, Ed.; Andres, Frederic, Ed. – IGI Global, 2022
In higher education systems, equal importance must be given to differently abled students. However, not all educational institutions have infrastructure and facilities to admit these students even though accessibility and support for these students is growing. There are many schemes, facilities, services, and financial assistance available to…
