Khadija and Faith, two of our Student Voices volunteers, have collaborated to create an accessible slide show about Area 3 of the Curriculum Framework for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment (CFVI); Communication. They talk through their experiences of adaptations to support their communication skills when they were in school.
Watch Khadija and Faith’s slides here.
Selvi, one of our Young Voices volunteers, has made a short animation. She talks about how there’s no ‘one size fits all’, when it comes to communication for blind and partially sighted people and how area 3 helped her to articulate her needs in different environments.
