Time ManagementBy: Carmen Willings
teachingvisuallyimpaired.com Updated June 6, 2019 All students need to learn to manage their time, but this is an especially important skill for students with visual impairments and particularly for students who are blind.

Time ConceptsIn order to manage their time and structure their day, they will need to have a basic understanding of time concepts.
