Synopsis
This book explores the education of visually impaired children within the context of schools that serve blind students. The text revolves around the concept that while blind schools have traditionally admitted students with varying degrees of visual acuity, many students with specific eye conditions may not benefit from methods designed for blind individuals, even though the students may not meet the legal definition of blindness. In fact, some of these students may be better suited to learn alongside sighted individuals using modified methods. The author makes the case that separating students with partial blindness into classes within a school that caters to blind students provides them with the best opportunity to adapt for life in the sighted world. The book explores topics such as the differing needs of children who are blind versus partially sighted and the social, psychological, and educational challenges that each group faces. The author discusses specific methods for teaching partially sighted children, including modifications to reading, writing, handicrafts, physical education, and other subjects to meet their individual needs. Ultimately, the book argues that the education of visually impaired children should focus on equipping them to succeed in the broader society, and that this may require tailored approaches that differ from traditional methods for the blind.
