Teaching students with sensory impairments
Teaching Students with Sensory Impairments is a free resource aimed at fully including students with sensory impairments within our education system.
The handbooks have been written in two parts and are filled with practical strategies and educational resources to assist mainstream teachers, students, parents and therapists in both theoretical and practical aspects of successfully including students with sensory impairments in mainstream education classrooms.
The first handbook is for students with vision impairment and the second for students with hearing impairment. Topics covered in both include:
- Inclusion
- Definitions, identification and professionals
- Technological and medical interventions
- Teaching strategies and accommodations
- Activities
- Social Skills
- Counseling
- Working with families
This project is the result of an international collaborative effort among educators in the United States, Australia and New Zealand who work with students with vision or hearing impairments. The handbooks are now available and can be accessed via the Teaching Students with Sensory Impairments web site.
