Promoting Equitable Access to Education for Children and Young People
with Vision Impairment offers a suitable vocabulary and developmental
route map to examine the changing influences on promoting equitable
access to education for learners with vision impairment in different
contexts and settings, throughout a given educational pathway.
Bringing together a wide range of perspectives, this book argues that
inclusive educational systems and teaching approaches should focus upon
promoting and sustaining a balanced curriculum. It provides an analysis
of how a suitable curriculum balance can be promoted and sustained
through the stages of a given educational pathway to ensure equitable
access and progression for all learners with vision impairment. The
authors draw on the United Kingdom as a country study to illustrate the
complex ecosystem within which learners with vision impairment are
educated.
Structured around a framework which provides a conceptually coherent and
practical balance between universal and specialist approaches, this book
is a relevant read for educators, academics, and researchers involved in
vision impairment education as well as officials in government and
non-government organisations engaged in developing education policy
relating to inclusive education and disability.
