I decided to ask my students a few questions to get their feedback to help me with my in-service.
What are the most frustrating things about working with new general education teachers & explaining your vision impairment?
Do most teachers seem to understand?
How is it when you share your vision statements?

- Cooper Joseph Babycakes Kendall It is an eye opener. But it also takes a while for them to get the hang of it. But it is a neat thing to teach them what then need to do for me and my vision

Cody Laplante Sometimes they treat me like I am so sensitive about it. Either they get really uncomfortable when it comes up, they treat me like I am in Kintergarten or they try to ask my parents what to do. They eventually get the idea that I can speak for myself but it takes a while.

Gwen Vartanian It can be hard to explain at times, but they do eventually get it. Teachers try to understand and help which is really nice. I don't mind educating others about my vision impairment.

Cody Laplante Hahaha it's true! I once had a teacher that came over and knelt next to my desk and in that sweet elementary voice said "So what do you need from me?"

Savannah Carmack Its actually kind of annoying.... When they hear of your vision impairment they will sometimes talk to your parents like your not even there.... when your standing right there! Then they will point it out right in class and change the whole lesson plan to accomodate you.... kind of embarrassing.... It seems as though the high school teachers are alot more understandint then elementary or even middle school. They are alot more cool about it and i like thar more of these teachers expect me to advocate for myself and tell them when we first me whats up..... otherwise they wont say anything.... unless they have a question. I cant tell that they are really trying.... Like you said Robbin.... They just dont get it.
