About the Project

This project will provide my visually impaired students, including those who are blind or low vision with 3D printed objects that will help them access their curriculum. When a student is blind or low vision, a visual image or audio description does not have much meaning. The students need items they can feel and explore. This not only allows the student to explore, but it also allows them to gain understanding. A 3D printer will allow me endless possibilities. My students and I can print and create items that can help to even the playing field. Additionally, some of my students with cortical visual impairments need items that are single colored. Multicolored objects have too much clutter and visual stimulation. A 3D printer will allow me the ability to provide custom items for students with varying abilities and vision.
