Access and Achievement for VI 11 16

A key practical guide to making learning accessible for primary and secondary school pupils with visual impairment, this user-friendly book shows how, with appropriate support, pupils with visual impairment in mainstream schools can have as rewarding an experience of education as their sighted peers.Recognising there is no 'one size fits all' approach to inclusive education, this book is bursting with practical advice, suggestions and handy tips, providing readers with a positive starting point for sharing ideas and good practice. The majority of contributors are qualified teachers for visual impairment, with many years' experience working with pupils in a variety of settings.Covering the curriculum and each subject area in detail, guidance is given concerning:- activities within and outside the classroom- making the school's physical environment accessible- inclusion within the school's social environment.Teachers and support staff will have immediate access to a wealth of ideas, supported by invaluable resources on the accompanying CD/website, including a complete electronic version of the book in large print, allowing older pupils to take a more active role in the learning process.Teaching Pupils with Visual Impairmentwill not only inspire teachers, support staff and pupils; it will also help parents increase their own understanding of access to learning, and how their children can get the most out of their schooling.Salisbury, Ruth is the author of 'Access and Achievement for VI 11 16', published 2007 under ISBN 9781843123958 and ISBN 1843123959.
