Teaching support for parents and schools
The Education Committee of BlindSA is reaching out to parents and schools to assist with the schooling of learners with visual impairment during the lockout period and beyond. We would love some feedback from parents and even schools.
Below are links about websites and apps from the US and South Africa that you can use on your PC or smart devices for visually impaired learners.
