  10. Not everything is adaptable-so we modify

  11. What is modification? • Modification is where work which relies on good vision isbeing given to a class as part of a lesson (whether on the board, on paper, in a book) and has been altered either in look and sometimes content to meet the individual needs of the child or young person in the class who has a visual impairment

  12. Activity 2 Take turns to put on the simi-specs and look at side 1 of the sample you have been given Write down how you think you could adapt/modify it to make it more accessible for the child with whom you work When we say- turn your example over DON’T CHEAT
