Low vision students often struggle to read longer passages and are often very slow visual readers compared to their peers using a screen reader is often significantly faster making screen readers most efficient tool for “reading” text. Students with low vision often endure eye fatigue and debilitating headaches – especially when reading for periods of time – which may facilitate the need to modify the low vision features on the fly or change to using auditory materials. Keep in mind, that students may use different low vision features for different tasks and may prefer different features in different lighting environments and/or at different times of the day. Students should be assessed to help determine which features are beneficial. Every low vision user should know what low vision features are available and how/when to use these features. There are a number of low vision options available in the Settings app. The iPad has a variety of built-in low vision options enabling a user with low vision to select the combination of features that work best for his/her needs.
