    Visually impaired students face difficulties in the classroom due to lack of accessibility support. Providing assistance through teachers, administrators, and disability services can help visually impaired students adapt to their environments and maximize their learning potential by developing other senses like hearing. Effective listening skills allow visually impaired students to better understand their surroundings and interact socially. Wearing devices like eyeglasses and sitting at the front of the classroom can also help visually impaired students rely on their vision. A support system is crucial for visually impaired students to feel comfortable in the classroom and achieve academic success.

    STRATEGIC LEARNING FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED STUDENTS

    A quote from Abraham Maslow, “If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of
    being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life." A study by Correa-Torres, et al.
    (2018), visually-impaired students or students with vision loss experiencing difficulty in classroom
    accessibility should be provided by a support system such as teachers, administration, disability
    support services, responsible for minimizing the likelihood of eye-deficiency and practices in
    developing usefulness of other senses like hearing in order to learn efficiently. Teaching visually-
    impaired students to adapt to their environment by offering assistance to help better their
    experiences and feel comfortable around the classroom. Visually-impaired students have a better
    chance to maximize their capability in learning by enhancing their auditory skills and classroom
    adaptation. Furthermore, managing an effective strategy for visually-impaired students is necessary
    to ensure academic success.

    Adkins (2016) stated that "The development of effective listening skills enhances the lives of
    all students with visual impairments." Visually-impaired students should be offered with
    appropriate instructional support to develop active interaction. Visually-impaired students lack a
    support system to be an efficient learner and to improve social awareness in the classroom as a vital
    component for safety (Durkel, n.d.). Auditory or listening skills are a valuable element for
    promoting social development and visualization. According to Willings (2019), the development of
    the auditory skills of visually-impaired students is crucial in developing an understanding of their
    environment.

    Classroom adaptation is important to remind that they have the potential to learn efficiently
    using their vision. According to Gissara (2017), "Since they may not be aware of objects or people
    moving across their path they may need to rely on their other senses to be aware of their
    environment". Wearing eyeglasses could help students with poor eyesight when they are in school.
    According to Dr. Frederick (2017), wearing eyeglasses is a corrective eye option; it could protect
    the eyes from particles that can harm a person's vision like dust or wind. Sitting at the front is
    another solution for improving student's learning because it minimizes the distance for the student
    to visually orient.

    Students who have poor eyesight can have a hard time to study but somehow, as stated, there
    are solutions for them to study well despite their conditions. Someone with sight problems can
    become isolated from others more easily while others are self-sufficient and may not need help.
    Nonetheless, whether a visually impaired student asks for assistance, don't hesitate to help. A
    support system is valuable to be able to improve their social awareness and interactions in the
    classroom. Apart from having a support system, using an appropriate device like eyeglasses is some
    other ways for them to rely upon their other senses for them to be aware of their environment.
