SUGGESTIONS


Nowadays, while a lot of students live and study in good physical conditions, there are still many students with visual impairments. They are facing a lot of discrimination life. They may feel that they are treated less fairly than normal students because of their disabilities. In regular schools, they cannot fully participate in school activities and are often left behind.
What can we do to help them overcome their problems?
First, people should pay mudl attention to them and know what they need. They have different learning difficulties! however; that does not mean that they cannot learn. Therefore, schools should provioj them with specialised materials and tools such as Braille or large print books, talkirj computers or materials with large print. By giving them these things, we can help theJ learn better.



Second, there should be more close contacts between students with visual impairment and non-disabled ones. They should be put in a cordial atmosphere to work in groups! People should create an atmosphere of friendliness, respect and acceptance during afl activities at school. When working together with students with visual impairments, people will fully understand them and may recognise the talents hidden inside them. This is the thing that all people in our society should do.
It is necessary for all people to give students with visual impairments more opportunitiei in life, and should intergrate them in our community because they are part of our socier. Better understanding of students with visual impairments and more contacts between non-disabled people and disabled people will help students with visual impairmer overcome their difficulties and create a more possitive attitude towards them.
