Software programs are available to provide access to many of the educationally oriented programs already in use within the classroom. These programs can enlarge the screen and all information related to a particular program. Some programs assist through providing speech output and the ability for the computer to alert the student as to their placement within a particular file or placement within the desktop. Expectations for a student with a vision impairment should be the same as other students in the classroom. The same disciplinary rules that apply to the rest of the class should apply to the student with a vision impairment.
Contrast is a major component of enhanced access to visual materials for persons who are low vision.
Positioning and postures are critical to materials' accessibility in the classroom. Reading stands should be used to provide closer proximity to reading materials while allowing the student to maintain a more normal seated posture. The student should be provided with preferential seating to allow for best viewing and observation of classroom exercises and activities. The exact position is dependent upon the student's visual impairment. For instance, if a student's best distance vision is in the right eye, it is usually best to position the student on the left side of center where most activities will occur.
