What are the Learning Aids for Visually Impaired Students?

An image consisting different learning aids for visually impaired made by Raised Lines Foundation.

Learning aids are specially designed tools and resources that facilitate understanding and engagement with educational content. They help bridge the gap caused by the lack of visual information, enabling students to grasp complex concepts in subjects like Mathematics, Science, and Language Arts. They promote independent learning, enhance tactile and auditory skills, and foster confidence and inclusivity in educational settings.

We are dedicated to creating innovative learning aids for teachers and students. Our process begins with thorough research to identify need gaps and potential solutions. We then design these aids in collaboration with end users and experts to ensure they meet the real-world requirements of visually impaired learners.
