Generally speaking, a number of resources can be made available to visually
impaired adults seeking to pursue a GED though your state Department (or
Services) for the Blind or Department for Vocational Rehabilitation, though
the ability to utilize these services may depend upon the level of severity
of the visual impairment (for instance, the individual may need to meet the
definition of legal blindness).  Be sure to check with your state VR entity
directly.  

Hope this helps,

What resources are available for GED students who are visually impaired and
are in need of large print or other accommodation?



What strategies might be appropriate for such a student?
