Abstract

<p>In education for children with visual impairments, guidance has long been provided to help students overcome and make improvements to deal with the difficulties caused by their disabilities. In the Courses of Study (national curriculum), orientation and mobility instruction, braille, visual aids, tactile perception, and information devices are presented as educational content to promote the independence of children with visual impairments. As the number of children with visual impairments studying in regular schools has increased in recent years, the number of students enrolled in schools for the blind has decreased and the percentage of students with multiple disabilities has increased. As a result of personnel changes, teachers with acquired expertise have been transferred to schools for other types of disabilities, making the maintenance of expertise an urgent issue.</p>
