Vision Resource Guide 2010: A Math & Language Arts for K-7 Resource for Classroom Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments

This guide was written to support classroom teachers of students, who use Braille or enlarged print as their primary reading and writing medium, to participate in general education, typical grade level curriculum. This resource guide was written for classroom teachers by teachers of students with visual impairments in British Columbia. The purpose of this guide is to provide strategies to maximize learning by providing appropriate adaptations and tools for the format the student uses and understands.

This guide provides a framework for implementation of adaptations to meet the general learning expectations across BC curricula from Kindergarten to Grade 7.  BC Prescribed Learner Outcomes are paired with recommended adaptations for students who are visually impaired. Along with PLO’s and specific adaptations, are descriptions for the role that team members will fulfill in students’ educational development.
