Organizing a Blind Student's Schoolwork (self.Blind)
submitted 8y ago by 96tears
My 5th grader who's blind needs help keeping their print papers and brailled papers together to keep track of their assignments for each subject: Homework, Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies. I'm thinking a binder is best but how to keep it organized and deal with the bulky brailled papers that are larger sized is another thing to decide. The rest of the class is using separate folders. In general, any tips on school organization would be helpful!

There are binders and folders specifically made for braille materials. They look just like normal binders but are a little longer. Then we use special tab pages that stick out a little bit and label those by subject.

In terms of organization I think accordion binders are great, they also limit the amount of things they have to carry. I am not a Braille reader as of now, but enlarged print things can be enormously bulky and I would have to fold them. I have now limited the amount of paper materials I carry because of my laptop. I now prefer to have class assignments and papers emailed to me and I store them on my computer where I have access to Zoomtext, NVDA, etc.

Thanks for the reply! An accordion binder would work perfectly because carrying heavier things is difficult with their physical condition. We are still working on their computer proficiency so eventually that will be the best option.
