Visual Impaired are better off than Visual Students in Learning: Specialist
The program of integrating students with disabilities into society is staunchly supported by the government, says Saad Al-Khenafer, resident director of visual impairment program in King Saud Academic Complex, in an interview with Resalah.
Resalah: How far you assess education of
the visual impaired students?
Al-Khenafer: They are better off than the excellent visual students: they have stronger memories and can reach higher degrees. Yet, some of them need special means to receive information. A session was made to upgrade the education standard of visual impaired students.
Al-Khenafer: Braille way for reading, cubes for math, Perkins machine, and other means for science and geography.
Al-Khenafer: Yes, the audio-computers and the computers fit for high schools.
Al-Khenafer: No doubt they are successful programs, yet, they need an ideal, cooperative management. The major negative point is that the management and visual students do not cooperate with the visual impaired students.
Al-Khenafer: I thank the government for paying attention to those with disabilities more than the normal citizens.
