I always had to cope with one chapter at a time. Textbooks could never be brailled in time for my blind students. The problem of a shortage of material in Braille has always plagued teachers for the blind. Read teaching material to the blind student and get him or her to Braille the material before lessons. When confronted with a totally blind student do not despair. He or she will conceive ideas and images differently from someone who was blind at birth. If the blind student became blind when he or she was, for example, at the age of eight or nine, he or she has certain visual memory.

The next thing to do is to learn the background of the student. So students with partial vision should be encouraged to read big print books. Whatever amount of residual vision that is left of a blind person should be utilised to the maximum. Eighty percent of learning is through sight.Does he or she have some sight left that he or she may be able to read big print?.The teachers do not need to understand the medical implication of the blind student's blindness, just how much residual vision he or she has. Having said so there are one or two things teachers who are not trained to teach the blind may need to know before they can be an effective teacher to a blind student.ДЇirst and foremost the teachers have to understand the visual condition of their blind student. Of all the subjects teaching English to the blind is the easiest. Are colours important to them? Are they fashion conscious?.How do you describe colours to the blind?.
