What adjustment should a teacher make when preparing an assessment for a visually impaired student?

  1. Provide a digital copy of the test

  2. Enlarge one copy of the test for the visually impaired student

  3. Read the test questions aloud

  4. Use braille for the entire test

The correct answer is: Enlarge one copy of the test for the visually impaired student

While enlarging a copy of the test may help some visually impaired students, the most effective adjustment for ensuring accessibility would involve providing the test in a format that best suits the specific needs of the individual student. This includes considering various accommodations such as braille or audio formats. A critical factor in the development of assessments for visually impaired students is the recognition that visual impairments can vary greatly from one individual to another. Some students may benefit from materials in braille, others may require the test to be read aloud, and some may need additional tactile or auditory aids to assist in understanding the content. Each of the listed options could be appropriate depending on the unique needs of the student. Therefore, the best practice typically involves a comprehensive assessment and consultation with the student about their specific needs to determine the most suitable format for the assessment, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution like simply enlarging the text.
