Visual Impairment: Accepting Individual Differences.
Cohen, Shirley; And Others
The AID (Accepting Individual Differences) curriculum guide, the fifth in a series of five manuals that attempt to foster acceptance and respect for differences as exemplified by disabilities, presents activities on visual impairments (VI) for instructors' personal learning, and lesson plans for teaching primary grade students. Suggested for personal learning experiences by instructors are simulation activities, reading, observation, a conference with a teacher of VI students, and general resources. Activities of kindergrten through grade 3 students are presented in five lesson plans on the theme, "People are different; people are the same." The lesson plans, which incorporate use of the accompanying student workbook, "Visual Impairment," usually include theme, specific objective, activities (such as the listening game), a list of materials, literature, a discussion guide, directions for leading the activity, and directions for story line. Twelve activities for more advanced students give opportunities such as simulating visual impairment. Questions that students might ask are posed and answered. (MC)
