What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is a professional reference book — part of APH Press's STEM series — written to help teachers design and deliver science instruction that works for blind and low vision students. It combines current research with classroom-ready strategies, covering topics like how to make labs, demonstrations, and scientific inquiry accessible without sighted assumptions baked in. The primary audience is educators: special education teachers, vision specialists (TVIs), and science teachers who serve students with visual impairments. It's sold as either a print or digital EPUB file, so educators using screen readers or braille displays can access it themselves — though the EPUB version requires a compatible reader app to open. This is a curriculum support resource, not a student-facing tool, so its impact depends entirely on how educators apply what they learn from it.
