Title: [Classroom Adaptations]
A teacher is sitting in front of four children at a large, round desk.
One of them is a young boy.
Narrator: “ ‘H’ is a first grade student in an inclusive
classroom. ‘H’ is blind. But with instructional adaptations,
he is able to participate in all curriculum areas with his peers.”
‘H’ is shown using a Braille-writer in his classroom.
It looks and works like a typewriter, except that it produces Braille
text.
Narrator: “While other students complete their reading worksheets
with a pencil, ‘H’ writes his answers on a Braille-writer.”
‘H’ and his classmates are wearing headphones while sitting
in a circle on the floor around a tape player.
Narrator: “His reading book is Braille and he is able to listen
to stories on tape with his peers.”
