Inclusive Teaching Practices: supporting students with visual impairments

Inclusive teaching means equal opportunities for all your learners

This course enables educators and teaching support staff in schools and further and higher education establishments to acquire or refresh their knowledge when working with students with visual impairments. It explores the challenges of inclusive teaching practices and provides information essential in meeting those demands.

Reflection on barriers to learning, and practices to address these.
Adapting the classroom or lecture theatre environment to support visually impaired students.
Identifying the role of assistive technology, and how to best support its use in the classroom.

Supporting the wider student experience in terms of fostering well-being and social engagement.

An opportunity to develop
