Understanding the different types of visual impairment is only the starting point. Each person’s experience is unique, and no two individuals are affected in exactly the same way — even with the same diagnosis.
This is why your approach should always be personalised. Take the time to:
Talk with the person about their needs and preferences.
Observe how they use their vision in real situations.
Adapt your teaching or the environment to fit their specific abilities and challenges.
A tailored approach ensures support that is both respectful and effective.
