Abstract

Efforts at inclusion and mainstreaming are pervasive in classrooms across North America. One of the many special populations formerly segregated but currently mainstreamed includes blind or partially sighted students. In this article we discuss some of the challenges faced by blind and visually impaired students and some of the tools available to help these students in their efforts to learn mathematics.
