ABSTRACT

Introduction of low vision devices early in life helps the students to develop reflex of reading. In the lower class of schools they can manage with large print books but during higher studies they need access to a large number of books. Brailled books are bulky, costly and less available and it makes higher studies difficult (Sil et al., 2010). Low vision students who have potential for using residual sight should get an opportunity to get introduced to low vision devices as early as possible in their lives. The special schools for the visually challenged should adopt an individualized approach to education rather than teaching Braille universally (Sil et al., 2010).
