Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Blind Child Becomes a Member of Your Class
Your responsibility to the Visually handicapped child in your group is the same as your responsibility to other pupils. You help them to develop physically, socially, intellectually, and morally. A teacher must take every child where he is and lead him as far as the limitations and potentialities of both the child and teacher permit.\ Try to remember that if you are a good teacher for sighted children you can also be a good teacher for a blind child. Teach ing and learning processes are fundamentally the same. Some adaptations will be necessary in methods and materials.
To help you with this aspect of having a blind child in your group, you will have the support not only of the administrator of the school program, but also of a resource teacher. This teacher may be located in your building, or in some instances an itinerant teacher will come to help you for certain scheduled hours each week. These specially prepared helpers will guide you and the Visually handicapped child in the use of any special tools or tech niques appropriate for his instruction.
