Visual Needs Summary
Visual Needs Reviews
This book is very readable and informative and is written in a style which is accessible to parents, carers and educators alike. The bullet points and summary sections carefully highlight all overriding points. The use of case studies and anecdotal evidence will help everyone involved in the development and education of a visually impaired child find something with which to identify. I would recommend this book not only as being very readable and informative, but also as a good point of reference for ideas and suggestions which can be revisited at any point in the future.
