The pace is adjusted to the pupil when needed. Existing methods and materials are used, but they are changed to better suit the needs of the pupils. For example, magnifications, digital workbooks, and other optical aids are used. Pupils also work with speech computers, braille, keyboards, viewing strategies, adjustable tables, and extra light. In <a href=\"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/kennisbank\/passend-onderwijs\/\">special education<\/a>, there are fewer pupils in a class: about seven to twelve. Children are often placed in classes based on age or level. Partially sighted and blind pupils take most lessons together, but sometimes their teaching is different, and for some subjects, pupils get separate lessons.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Institutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the Netherlands, two institutions offer special education for visually impaired pupils: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bartimeus.nl\/\">Bartim\u00e9us<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visio.org\/home\/\">Koninklijke Visio<\/a>. Both institutions also provide guidance for toddlers and their parents, ambulant support at regular education, support at vocational education, and help for adults. These institutions have schools across the country.<\/p>\n<p>For cluster-1, these are <a href=\"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/kennisbank\/passend-onderwijs\/naar-speciaal-basisonderwijs\/cluster-1-en-2-scholen\/\">organized separately<\/a> from the education field and are funded separately. To get support from cluster-1, a pupil must meet the criteria and have a declaration of admissibility with an arrangement from the institution.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"call_to_action","selecteer_call_to_action":"gerelateerde_onderwerpen_lijst","berichten_met_prioriteit":false,"download_pdf":false,"veelgestelde_vragen_verwijzing":{"titel":"","knop_tekst":"","url":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"meer_informatie_links","linkjes":[{"link":{"title":"Eye association","url":"https:\/\/www.oogvereniging.nl\/","target":""}},{"link":""},{"link":""},{"link":""},{"link":""},{"link":""}]}],"call_to_action":"contact","call_to_action_2":"geen","banner_subtitel":"","zoekwoorden":"","banner_afbeelding":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ouders-Onderwijs-Image-8.jpg","samenvatting":"Children with a visual impairment are blind or partially sighted.
