Children with visual impairments need access to learning materials presented in more than one sensory modality. The current application of three-dimensional (3D) printers in schools has been limited to strengthen science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experiences of students in mainstream classrooms. Based on the pedagogical needs of non-visual learners, teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) can use 3D printers available in schools to create customized tactile models. This paper presents several strategies for TVIs to create accessible learning materials using 3D printing technology that will enhance inclusive practices for students with visual impairments. |
