Description
First published in 1999. This book seeks to inform teachers in mainstream schools and colleges, who are new to teaching children and young people with a visual impairment, how successful inclusion may be achieved. The text will examine some of the challenges facing this group in accessing the curriculum and suggest ways in which these challenges can be met. While the book is primarily aimed at newly qualified teachers working in a mainstream school setting, it is felt that the issues raised will be of interest to all teachers who are teaching pupils with a visual impairment for the first time. Many of the more general principles will be useful to those working in further education settings.
