Between 70 and 80 percent of all legally blind persons in the United States have measurable vision. The student with low vision may meet academic challenges in much the same way as the DeafBlind student. This may include the use of close-vision interpreting, note takers, large-print materials, eBooks, raised line drawings, and other assistive technologies.
The faculty should keep in mind that each student with low vision has a unique set of visual abilities and should not be compared to other students with similar visual abilities.
