Development of Accessible Laboratory Experiments for Students with Visual Impairments
Kroes, KC; Lefler, Daniel; Schmitt, Aaron; Supalo, Cary A.
Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, v19 n1 Article 6 p61-67 2016
The hands-on laboratory experiments are frequently what spark students' interest in science. Students who are blind or have low vision (BLV) typically do not get the same experience while participating in hands-on activities due to accessibility. Over the course of approximately nine months, common chemistry laboratory experiments were adapted and field tested for use in a residential school for the blind. These adaptations most commonly used a SciVoice Talking LabQuest and associated sensors, as well as other tactile methods.
