A blind child in my classroom: a handbook for primary teachers (Summary)

Approaches to Teaching

Are there any special teaching methods which I should use with the blind student in my classroom?

There are some teaching methods which you will use more often. They are not exclusive to blind students but rather, they are an adaptation of well established teaching methods, most of which you would have used before with sighted students in one form or another. 

I have heard from many teachers that a blind student in the classroom has brought a heightening of awareness of teaching methodology and this has meant a more enriched program for the other students.
