Many of us are aware of at least some of the variety of aides for those with visual impairments; your group did a great job covering those most commonly used as well as ones many of us may not have thought of.
ReplyDeleteWhat I was intregued by, was the video of visual impairments in other countries. A great eye opener! Although I am always wishing I had more technology in my classroom/life in general, it was a good reminder to be thankful for what I have.
Having said that I still wonder what new and exciting advancements are coming our way for the visually impaired as many of the currently used devices have been around for eons.
