You are a social work educator and use PowerPoints, Board and Chalk during your teaching. One day you discover that you have a student with total visual impairment in your class. How will you enable her to get the maximum learning from your class ? (i) Read out everything from the PowerPoint and board to the whole class (ii) Arrange separate tutorials for her and ask her not to attend regular classes of your course (iii) Ask a fellow student to help her (iv) Arrange separate tutorials for her in addition to regular classes Codes :
(i) and (iv)
An inclusive educator keeps a student with visual impairment in the regular class and makes reasonable accommodations, as required by the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.
(i) Reading out everything from the PowerPoint and board to the whole class is the most direct accommodation: it makes all visual content accessible to her as it is taught, does not single her out, and helps every student (a universal design practice) - accepted.
(ii) Asking her not to attend regular classes and teaching her separately is segregation and violates the principle of inclusion - rejected.
(iii) Asking a fellow student to help her shifts the teacher's responsibility onto a peer, makes her dependent on another learner and gives inconsistent support; the accommodation must come from the teacher - rejected.
(iv) Arranging separate tutorials in addition to (not instead of) regular classes gives her extra time to cover diagrams and material that need more explanation, while she continues to learn with her classmates - accepted.
Hence, the answer is (i) and (iv).
