Cain, Melissa; Fanshawe, Melissa – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
The rapid digitalisation of learning has had demonstrable impacts on access to education for students with a print disability. In higher education contexts, learning management systems (LMS) have become the predominant method for distributing content. This conceptual article addresses how students with print disabilities such as vision impairment,…

Yiannoutsou, Nikoleta; Johnson, Rose; Price, Sara – Educational Technology & Society, 2021
Digital developments that foreground the sensory body and movement interaction offer new ways of engaging with mathematical ideas. Theories of embodied cognition argue for the important role of sensorimotor interaction in underpinning cognition. For visually impaired children this is particularly promising, since it provides opportunities for…

Borges Silva, Maristella; Novais Shimano, Suraya Gomes; Lopes de Oliveira, Nuno Miguel – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2021
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to develop and implement an audio-tactile protocol for therapeutic intervention in individuals with visual impairments. Methods: The Physiotherapy Protocol for People with Visual Impairment (PP-PVI) was developed following five steps: physiotherapy evaluation, linguistic selection, protocol design,…

Ramírez Espinosa, Alexánder – London Review of Education, 2023
In an increasingly globalised society, the internationalisation of higher education has become a prime goal for many universities, which seek to promote the development of intercultural competencies and insert their actors in dynamics of academic cooperation, knowledge construction and negotiation of meanings in an environment of respect. What is…

Rosner, Yotam; Perlman, Amotz – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2018
Introduction: The Israel Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Services subsidizes computer-based assistive devices for individuals with visual impairments (that is, those who are blind or have low vision) to assist these individuals in their interactions with computers and thus to enhance their independence and quality of life. The aim of this…

Brian, Ali; Taunton, Sally; Haibach-Beach, Pamela; Lieberman, Lauren J. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2018
Introduction: Children with visual impairments (that is, those who have low vision or blindness) often demonstrate lower levels of perceived and actual motor competence and physical activity compared to peers who are sighted. The purpose of this study was to assess the way in which seven-day sports camps specially designed for children with visual…

Rosenblum, L. Penny; Cheng, Li; Beal, Carole R. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2018
Introduction: Knowing how to gather information from graphics and to use that information to solve mathematics problems is an important skill. Prior research indicates that many students with visual impairments face considerable challenges when attempting to locate information in math graphics. Little is known about how teachers of students with…

Likova, Lora T.; Cacciamani, Laura – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2018
Introduction: This study assessed whether basic spatialcognitive abilities can be enhanced in people who are blind through transfer of learning from drawing training. Methods: Near-body spatial-cognitive performance was assessed through the Cognitive Test for the Blind (CTB), which assesses a wide range of basic spatial-cognitive skills. The CTB…

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…

Assistive Learning Technologies for Students with Visual Impairments: A Critical Rehumanizing Review
Ahmed, Ishtiaq; Chao, Theodore – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2018
Students with visual impairments (SVIs) are often dehumanized in mathematics education, based on deficit perspectives, the assumption that mathematics learning must be visual, and a lack of tools that allow students on the entire spectrum of vision to collaborate mathematically. The current advent of assistive learning technologies (ALTs) holds…

Papadopoulos, Konstantinos; Barouti, Marialena; Koustriava, Eleni – Exceptional Children, 2018
To examine how individuals with visual impairments understand space and the way they develop cognitive maps, we studied the differences in cognitive maps resulting from different methods and tools for spatial coding in large geographical spaces. We examined the ability of 21 blind individuals to create cognitive maps of routes in unfamiliar areas…

Snyder, DeEtte L. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
In order to truly meet the unique learning needs of young children with blindness and visual impairment (BVI), it is critical to accurately define the population to create and implement quality and responsive support services. The current analysis utilized existing data gathered from the Babies Count database to examine the defining…
