How do blindness and low vision differ in both their legal definition and in the way they impact a child's ability to learn?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should discuss: Blindness is legally defined as corrected vision less than
20/200 while low vision is corrected vision between 20/70 and 20/200 . Students who are blind cannot access learning materials through visual stimulus and must rely on auditory and tactile senses. Students with low vision may, with aid, be able to use visual sense as their main avenue for learning.
