  1. Excellent Toolsto Assist Visually Impaired Students

  2. INTRODUCTION • The ideal tools for blind students adjust for their personalized needs, while giving them the power to effectively compete with their peers in academics. • Advances in technology have made this increasingly more accessible with tools and aides that take advantage of the latest innovations to help enable blind students.

  3. LARGE PRINT CALENDAR • In order for all students in a classroom keep up with day to day activities and schedules, educators should be using a large scaled wall calendar that uses both print and Braille labels. • This allows for every student in the class to know what is expected on any given day. • The calendar can be used to outline the curriculum for the day along with the times for special classes and activities. • A visually impaired student can refer to this on their own when they have a question about what is coming up next.

  4. SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR • Sight Enhancement Systems has developed a number of scientific calculators to assist visually impaired students with their advanced math classes. • One added function is voice back, currently available in both English and Spanish. • Working almost identically to your typical scientific calculator, educators will have no trouble in assisting a visually impaired student learn its functions.

  5. BRAILLE COMPASS • Using a Braille imposed tracing wheel, this compass from Howe Press enables blind students to complete math tasks with no assistance. • The point end works the same as on regular compasses, but the student is able to read the tracing wheel with their finger and make the proper adjustments.

  6. BRAILLENOTE APEX NOTE TAKER • This portable word processor allows a blind student to type notes in Braille and then later convert them to audio or print them out. • Created by Human Ware, the BrailleNote offers an array of features including three USB ports and synchronization with your home computer. • Note taking without an audio recording device is difficult for visually impaired students, but this device makes it easier.

  7. WINBRAILLE • WinBraille is a software program that can take text from a scanned document and convert it to Braille. • The document can then be printed out using an embosser and given to the blind student as a study aide or test exam. • This eliminates the need to isolate visually impaired students to administer exams orally.

  8. CONCLUSION • Parents and teachers both strive to make the academic lives of visually impaired students seem just like any other child’s. • Make your part of contribution by donating for blind students. • Contact Sri Rakum school for the blind, one of the best academy for blind in Bangalore.
