Characteristics of Students with Low Vision
Students like me can be sensitive to light - we may squint and rub our eyes a lot to try and help us see better. Sometimes we can get headaches and may bump into things in the classroom if there is low light.
Assistive Technology I Use!
- You might see me using a screen reader. It helps me by taking text from a screen and saying it out loud so I can hear. This helps me because I can have trouble reading texts from screens and books.
