Taped Textbooks as with large print and Braille textbooks, first consult the publishing company. Reading Machines will enlarge the print size and change the polarity to decrease vision strain and problems with glare by displaying white text on a dark screen. The use of videotapes in the class, class lecture using an overhead projector, and slides will all require some type of modification for students who have vision and hearing loss. Some adaptations may include use of an interpreter to be sure a student receives the information being presented. The use of color overlays might improve contrast for students with low vision.
Lighting is often critical for students with low vision.
Dimming the lights may impair the student s ability to see the material or the interpreter.
