Taking Visual Impairment to School

Lisa, who is visually impaired, explains how she finds her way around school, knows where her clothes are in her closet, and even plays baseball. She helps kids understand how children with visual impairments, including blindness, adapt and manage their surroundings. As Lisa explains how she finds her way around school, knows where her clothes are in her closet, and even plays baseball, readers will recognise that visual impairments don't prevent kids from being happy, well-rounded, and capable.

Other children can start to identify why a peer with a visual impairment may be treated differently and begin to empathize with the peer. In addition, children with a visual impairment or children who have conditions that set them apart as being different begin to feel accepted and safe. Includes a Kid Quiz to reinforce new information and Ten Tips for Teachers to provide additional facts and ideas for teacher use. Softcover, 32 pages.
