In this article, we discuss some types of training for people with visual impairment.
- Braille:
This method was invented by Louis Brill, who was blind. In this method, learning and reading letters and words is done by touch on special papers written in relief by the device.
Reading through Braille is related to memory and is more difficult and takes a long time, and it is not possible to read several words at a time, which is done by ordinary people, and because of the thickness of the paper, it takes up more space. There are different devices of this method.
This system is necessary for those who are unable to read large words. - Using existing vision:
Considering the problems that exist in braille, we try to use the remaining vision as much as possible. Bringing the book forward, using a lens are of this category.
Using special books with large letters
Enlarging letters and words by glasses, magnifiers, scanners or closed-circuit televisions, which creates a large image on the television.
Closed circuit television is one of the aids used for the blind.
- Listening training:
One of the learning methods for the blind is to teach and get used to listening, and this method is not ready for all types of conversations by means of pre-recorded tapes. - Activity training and independent living:
Two methods of physical and mental orientation are suggested for this training.
The method of psychological orientation in which the prominent maps related to the environment in which the blind person moves are used.
Another method is to teach the space of the house, where you have to hold the child’s hand and listen to the whole space of the house and show them the heights and heights, how to move around the house, the stairs, etc. find out through spatial visualization.
