SEEING
GROUP 2
 Objectives:
Students should be able to:

Identify the learners with difficulty

seeing.

Recognize the learning characteristics of

learners with difficulties.

Adapt modification in teaching strategies

that is needed to accomodate students
with difficulty seeing.
 Definition
Students in the classroom will exhibit different levels eyesight or
visual acuity. There may be some students with hampered
restricted vision.

According to (IDEA) "an impairment in vision that, even with

correction, adversely affects a child's educational performance,
which includes both partial sight and blindness." These students
may need have their eyesight corrected by wearing glasses or
other optical devices.
 Identification
• Learners with difficulty seeing often have:

1. Crossed Eyes 2. Squinting

(strabismus)
 Identification
• Learners with difficulty seeing often have:

3. Eyes that turn outwards

(Exotropia)
 Identification
• Learners with difficulty seeing often have:

4. Sitting near the instructional materials

 Identification
• Learners with difficulty seeing often have:

5. Poor eye-hand coordination: sporting activities

 Learning Characteristics
Good visual ability is critical in learning. Most school lessons are done through
blackboard writing, presentations, or handouts, in most major subjects.

Visual impairments, whether mild, moderate, or severe, affect the student's

ability to participate in normal classroom activities. They are placed in special
institutions. Nowadays, most are enrolled with other children who are not
visually impaired.
 Learning Characteristics
Learners with difficulty seeing have restricted ways to learn incidentally freem
their surroundings since most of them learn through visual clues limited of
this, the other senses are used to acquire knowledge. Due to the limited ability
to explore the environment, low motivation to discover is present.
Strategies to Consider:

a.) If using books is part of lesson, students with

difficulty seeing should be informed ahead of
time so that they can be ordered in braille or in an
audio recorded format.
Braille
Strategies to Consider:

b.) Portions of textbooks and other printed

materials may be recorded so that visually-
impaired students can listen instead of focusing
on the visual presentation.
Strategies to Consider:

c.) All words written on the board

should be read carefully.
Strategies to Consider:

d.) Students with difficulty seeing should be

seated near the board so that they can easily
move close to the instructional materials used
during the lesson.
Strategies to Consider:

e.) A buddy can be assigned to a student with

difficulty seeing as needed. This can be crucial
to assist in the mobility of the students such as
going to the other places in school during the
day.
Strategies to Consider:

f.) Students with difficulty seeing might need

more time to complete a task or homework.
This might be on a case to case basis.
Strategies to Consider:

g.) Teachers should be aware of terminology

that would require visual acuity (such as over
there or like this one) which the impaired
student may not be possess.
Strategies to Consider:

h.) Teacher should monitor the students

closely to know who needs extra time
in completing tasks.
