SESSION GUIDE ON DIFFICULTY IN SEEING I. GREETINGS: A bless day everyone. I will be facilitating for the session about Learners with Difficulty in Seeing. I am ____________________. II. INTRODUCTION Learners with difficulty in seeing are as unique and diverse as any other learner. They come from every background, with the full range of academic and other abilities and a wide variety of challenges. They may or may not have additional difficulties. Just as you get to know the personalities, strengths, and needs of the other learners in the class, a teacher will have the chance to become aware of and sensitive to the individual needs and abilities of the learners who have difficulty in seeing. So just as with academic abilities, it is also important to get to know a student’s unique visual abilities and needs. In general education class, careful consideration for the needs of learners with difficulty in seeing has to be given to ensure the learner can function both academically and socially alongside with his or her sighted classmates. As the classroom teacher of a learner with difficulty in seeing, you are in charge of the overall academic program for your learner. This training will provide you with the basic knowhow in dealing with learners with difficulty in seeing in your classroom but as you get to know your learner, you will learn his or her ways of working and what changes or adaptations in the classroom or in your own teaching procedures will help the learner to become fully integrated into your class.
