Inclusive challenges

Visual and Hearing Impairments: For visual impairment I would use large print. If this does not work I would need braille literature which requires a specialist for implementation. Use of lots of audio would help too.

For the hearing impaired use of sign language would be the best. I have had to learn sign language in case I have in one of my classes a learner with such a disability. If I do not have sign language I will have to get an interpreter in every lesson for sign language.

Sure, from my experience with learners with hearing impairment you verbalize and sign at the same time so as to be more inclusive. Learners can help the teacher in understanding sign language used for some concepts in a given topic.

Ignatius in my country learners with visual and hearing impairment are not in the same school as normal learners. The government provide schools for children with these disabilities where specialists are trained to teach them. So I can understand dealing with learners with such disabilities would require special training.
