  Case: Visually Impaired Student
Mrs. White has a student who is visually impaired. The student works with a vision teacher three times a week, but the teacher pulls the student away from instruction to work with her. The vision teacher does not collaborate with classroom teacher about teaching methods to help the student, so the teacher feels like she is not serving the student appropriately. Aside from preferential seating and enlarging texts on assignments, what are some other ways that the teacher can meet the needs of the student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. White needs to collaborate with the vision teacher to find out what methods she can use in the classroom to better serve the student's needs. Preferential seating and enlarged texts may not be enough. She needs to know the severity of her student's impairment and plan accordingly. It may involve the use of assistive technology.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. I completely agree that there needs to be some collaborating going on between the two teachers for the good of the student. Also, assistive technology can be a great help in the classroom to those who are visually impaired, but Mrs. White needs to get in touch with the vision teacher to see if it would work for the student.

Comments: I agree that both the vision and actually teacher need to communicate better. I like the idea of maybe needing assistive technology to further the child's education.

Comments: She does need to make it a point to collaborate with the vision teacher, if the vision teacher is not making it a point to meet and speak with her then she shall take on the responsibility of creating the communication.

Comments: The vision teacher should definitely be collaborating with the classroom teacher. Assistive technology may be a good idea to best assist her needs.
