Leslie D. Borton; Tina S. Herzberg – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2023
Some students with visual impairments have not learned to read print or braille due to a variety of factors. The inability to read proficiently affects all areas of a person's life. Thus, it is essential that teachers of students with visual impairments (hereafter called "teachers") are systematic and use research-based practices in…
