Abstract | Thousands of students with a vision impairment or blindness attend mainstream schools in Australia. Their experiences depend on a number of pertinent factors, including teachers' understanding of the legal requirements to abide by the inclusive education agenda, the schools' understanding of the nature of vision impairments and the challenges they present, and their willingness to take on advice regarding adjustments to the curriculum, assessment, technology and learning environment. |
