1.  Does everything I hand out to the class need to be in braille?

2.  Who grades papers of a student who reads braille? If me, how do I do that since I don’t know braille?

3.  I like to write little notes to my student on their homework and class work papers. How can I do that with my student who is visually impaired?

4.  I have a very visual classroom. How will my student who is visually impaired access the information I post around my room?

5.  I post children's work on a special "Good Work" bulletin board.  Will it be meaningful for my student who is visually impaired to have his work posted?  Another reason I do this is for students to see examples of the good work of their classmates.  How can this be meaningful to my VI student?

6.  The other children in my class are very curious about the special materials that my student who is visually impaired uses. How can I share information sensitively with them?

7.  Other students in my class complain about the noise of the braille writer. What can be done?
