Drawing on recent research, this book presents insights into the needs of children with visual impairments. It sets out the basis for addressing the individual needs of children with such impairments, within the Code of Practice. It includes information about: opthalmics; the identification and assessment of aspects of vision; the roles of different agencies likely to be involved; and a range of practical strategies. Advice is also offered on the use of low vision aids, appropriate decor and physical layouts, lighting conditions and relevant IT.
