Tactile Literacy Supports For Those With Visual Impairments
Funded Dec 31, 2021Thank you so much for donating to this project! My vision, impaired students really love the variety of tactile books. Some of the books have braille. They helps me with my pre-braille and beginner braille students. Some are tactile by having different types of materials for them to fill with their fingers. Lastly, some are stories of people who have vision impairments. It lets them know that they're not by themselves that there's others who are like them.
Thank you for bringing smiles to my students faces, and knowing that they are learning that there's other ways for them to still be able to read books besides audiobooks. My younger visually impaired students really enjoy these books a lot!”

Technology To Support Students With Visual Impairments
Funded Dec 14, 2021Thank you to those who contributed to this project. This iPad has been wonderful with our students visual impairments. Our students are learning how to use the camera to take pictures of their assignments on boards or in small print and make it bigger for them to see the print/objects. They are learning how to use certain Apps that lets them create files and put certain homework assignments in these files. They're learning how to use apps for those with visual payments to let them become independent with their schoolwork and outside of school life. For students who have multiple disabilities that includes having visual impairments, they are able to access educational apps to help them learn.
The students really get excited when I pull the iPad out for our sessions. I so greatly appreciate having this opportunity to be able to use such a device with my visually impaired students. It really helps them work on being independent and feeling like they're just like their other peers.”
