Description

Promoting Equitable Access to Education for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment offers a suitable vocabulary and developmental route map to examine the changing influences on promoting equitable access to education for learners with vision impairment in different contexts and settings throughout a given educational pathway. Bringing together a wide range of perspectives this book argues that inclusive educational systems and teaching approaches should focus upon promoting and sustaining a balanced curriculum.

The authors draw on the United Kingdom as a country study to illustrate the complex ecosystem within which learners with vision impairment are educated. Structured around a framework which provides a conceptually coherent and practical balance between universal and specialist approaches this book is a relevant read for educators academics and researchers involved in vision impairment education as well as officials in government and non-government organisations engaged in developing education policy relating to inclusive education and disability. | Promoting Equitable Access to Education for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment A Route-Map for a Balanced Curriculum
