    This document discusses low vision and blindness as disabilities. It defines low vision as a condition where vision correction does not fully improve a student's ability to learn visually. Assessments of academic achievement, functional skills, and adaptive behavior are used to determine eligibility for services. A history of services for the visually impaired is provided, noting the establishment of schools for the blind in the early 19th century and legislation supporting access to books. Considerations for supporting visually impaired students include assistive technologies, learning Braille, proper seating, utilizing sensory learning approaches, extra time, and maintaining familiar routines and organization in the classroom.
