According to Jonathan H. Salvin (2016) Visual impairment is when one or more parts of the
eye or brain that are needed to process images become diseased or damaged, leading to total
loss of vision. According to Suzanne R. Kirschner (2015)Inclusive education is an approach
to schooling in which students with many different
kinds of disabilities and learning needs are educated in classes with non-disabled and
typically developing students.
This paper seeks to discuss ways in which schools can make education inclusive for people
with visual impairment. Visual impairment is something that interferes with development of
learning mobility social growth and adjustment. For this reason, people living with visual
impairment present unique educational needs which are best addressed early in life. These
educational needs include concepts development, improving listening skills, and developing
study and research skills. Skills in daily living, socialisation and recreation also need to be
taught. Training to use any residual vision to the fullest extent is very important. They may
also need to be taught alternative ways to read and write.
