<p class="MsoNormal">Howdy!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re working with a biochemistry student with a visual impairment who is having difficulty seeing content written on a smart board or white board at the front of the classroom.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m familiar with several options like a monocular, secondary external display to “mirror” content, portable CCTV connected to student’s laptop, etc etc. This student will be moving between several classrooms and will likely need a solution
that works across a variety of locations / settings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m curious if anyone else has solved a similar problem – and what solutions you’ve found helpful. This student mentions portability as a concern and also seems hesitant to use anything that draws attention to their visual impairment (which
is an entirely different conversation.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer!<o:p></o:p></p>
