What are some ways that tests are adapted for blind and visually impaired students? Why do some advocate for students to do math on an abacus rather than a brailler? What’s the difference between the two?This week on Pushing Limits, join Denny Daughters as he discusses testing blind students with Mike Tanner. Mike, who lives with blindness himself, has been teaching blind and visually impaired students for 15 years in Southern California. Having been a teacher for over 30 years, we talk about how he tests students academically. We also talk about how he does adaptive technology assessments for his students and the various types of devices that students can use to get their schoolwork done. The best part is the same principles that Mike uses on his technology assessments can be used for adults as well!Among the devices that we talk about are things like magnifiers, braille tablets, and computers. How are they made accessible for blind and visually impaired students? Find out all this and more on this week’s program!This show was hosted, edited, and produced by Denny Daughters.The post Blind-Accessible Testing & Technology – Pushing Limits – April 4, 2025 appeared first on KPFA.
