Having knowledge about typical eye anatomy can help students find words for explaining their impairment in their own way and for saying what it is like to feel different from one's sighted peers. Talking about one's visual impairment is an essential skill in personal and school or work settings (Guerette, Lewis, & Mattingly, 2011; Sacks, 2006). It comes up on the playground, in the grocery store, or in the break room at work. Whether people are simply curious or rather insensitive, students will hear comments and questions about their eyes, and having a reply ready can put the person with a visual impairment in charge. Communicating accurate and appropriate information about one's eye is a part of both social skills and self-determination, areas of the expanded core curriculum. Joining in a series of lessons and giving practice time in role play and conversations about the eye help students with visual impairments respond with more confidence when they are confronted with questions (such as, "What's wrong with your eye?") about their vision. A lesson plan for a life sized eyeball activity is provided.
