Feedback
Correct These are correct responses that can be used for a school-age child with a
visual impairment.
Incorrect Mandating that the child's parents stay continuously with their child may
not be possible and is not usually necessary if the school-age child is at the
expected level of growth and development. Encouraging a child to write
his needs on a dry erase board would be an appropriate intervention for a
child who is aphonic, not for a child with a visual deficit.
