We would discuss with parents and the young person about what their specific needs might be and
what resources/strategies we might put in place to support the student in school. Other
considerations are below:
- Intervention Input and training from outside agencies such as the visual impairment team
- Adaptation Adapt the classroom’s environment where possible – for example adjusting
seating and lighting - Teachers Adapt the seating plan to include visual impaired students
- Resources Where appropriate, teachers & teaching assistants would create additional
resources to enable greater access to the curriculum - Aides Visual timetables would be produced in large print if required
- Room If a classroom doesn’t meet the requirements of the student then another
room would be made available wherever possible. Priority would be given to
ground floor rooms where possible. - Activities This is dependent on the actual visual impairment and the needs and wishes
of the student/parent
