Designing Class Materials for Visually Impaired Students - a 30 page practical guide.

What size font should you use for visually impaired students?
And does the choice of font itself matter?
Even more importantly, how far back in the classroom can students actually read what you write on the whiteboard?

This 30-page booklet explores the challenges visually impaired students face when reading classroom materials, along with the simple, practical adjustments teachers can make in response. These include choosing the correct fonts, colour combinations, and page layouts. Each recommendation is underpinned by the science and theory behind visual perception and readability, drawing on research from leading experts in the design of educational materials for visually impaired learners.
