dc.description.abstractIn this video, Jan Webster discusses the use of assistive devices specifically designed for users with low vision. She discusses basic devices (such as tinted glasses and caps) that reduce glare and increase contrast, allowing learners with low vision to see more easily. She also discusses natural and artificial light in the classroom, and how to use devices such as headlamps in the classroom. She discusses the use of colour and contrast in learning materials, from image design to the use of different colours of paper and ink to the size of text and images in learning materials. Lastly, she discusses how to use simple stationery and household items to make DIY assistive devices to support learning in a cost-effective way. She does stress the importance of developing a supportive learning environment through the use of classroom activities and discussion to normalise the use of assistive technologies and devices in the learning environment.en_US
