GOING ENGLISH: EQUALITY AND OPPORTUNITIES
Keywords:
inclusive education, English, BrailleAbstract
The civic organization “All-Ukrainian Parliament of Working-age Disabled People” strives to provide the independence, equality of opportunity, and quality of life for people with visual impairments in Ukraine. To support people who are irreversibly blind or visually impaired to live independently, the project “Equal opportunities” has been initiated. Within this project, writing an English textbook for students and transcribing it in Braille is currently being planned. We strongly believe that blind students need to have Braille versions of any textbook that is used in the classroom – English textbooks are not an exception.Downloads
