Transcribe Playing CardsStudents who are blind or visually impaired will typically need adaptations to access printed information that will allow the student to access all areas of the curriculum. It is the role of the Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI) to determine the adaptations that the student needs. Material adaptation needs will vary, depending on the degree of functional vision, effects of additional disabilities, and the task to be done.

Use the following guidelines and remember to flip the card 180 degrees and braille that side too so the student can read the card no matter how it is oriented
