​Recommendations

  • Prioritize high-contrast, low-clutter visuals and big touch targets.
  • Encourage auditory pairing (sound plus visual) to reinforce multisensory learning.
  • Use VoiceOver-compatible apps; Choiceworks and Swift Playgrounds are great examples.
  • Adjust complexity based on vision needs: start simple and grow.
  • Always test with the student, preferences, and visual responses are highly individual.
