Which accommodations are appropriate for learners with learning disabilities or visual impairment?

• A. Not using assistive devices
• B. Increase screen glare
• C. Tape recorders and large print materials
• D. Provide only standard print materials

Answer: (C)

Providing accommodations means adjusting how instruction is delivered so students with disabilities can access the same content. For learners with learning disabilities or visual impairment, tape recorders and large print materials directly support access: tape recorders let students listen to lectures or instructions at their own pace, which helps those who process information differently, and large print makes text easier to see, reducing strain and improving readability for vision challenges. Together, these formats give alternative ways to access information that promote independent learning and participation.

Choosing not to use assistive devices limits access for many students. Increasing screen glare makes reading harder and can worsen visual fatigue for those with visual impairment. Relying only on standard print materials assumes typical vision and decoding abilities, excluding learners who need larger text or audio formats.
