Summarize the development of the visual impairment field (1800s to today).
What will be an ideal response?
The history of educational services for people with visual impairments begins in the 1800s with the invention of braille, the system of reading by using raised dots invented by Louis Braille. Howe helped establish the first residential school for students who were blind, but he publicly opposed the segregation of these students and advocated for public day school education for them (1832). In 1900, the first part-time class for students with visual impairments was established in a public school, specifically for students with low vision who were not blind; the intent was to rely on oral instruction as a means of saving their residual sight, an approach referred to as sight saving. A dramatic increase in babies born with retinopathy of prematurity in the 1950s and affected by the rubella epidemic in the 1960s contributed to giving parents the impetus and support they needed to advocate for establishing programs for these students in their local schools, and this created a revolution in their education.
