Disability Awareness–Visual Impairment

March 4, 2019 By Julie Norman-Wilson

For those who are not familiar with special needs children or adults, it is often difficult to truly understand the road they travel.  Disability simulation activities give the participant a chance to “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.”  However, please note that these exercises will only give the participant a brief glimpse at one generalized aspect of any given struggle.

The following is an activity to glimpse the world of Visual Impairment.

Activity

Put on a pair of glasses or sunglasses wrapped in crinkled plastic wrap.  Try reading the paragraphs below.  Then try reading without the glasses.

Awareness

  1.  On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being perfect vision, how hard is it to read the paragraphs?
  2.  How frustrating is it to glean information from reading when the print isn’t perfectly clear?
  3.  How much reading is required in school, and how would a vision impairment impact a student’s day?
