Teacher information

Teachers play a pivotal role in the learning outcomes of all students. It is vital that teachers who have students with sensory impairment in their classrooms create an equitable educational environment through the use of accessibility practices.

Specialist teachers provide targeted support for students with sensory impairment, and are invited to view our page designed for specialist teachers.

Look at our page on inclusion in the classroom for an overview of how the classroom is experienced by students who are Deaf or have a hearing impairment.

Using captions in the classroom provides an explanation of the importance of the use of captions for these students.

Finding accessible content lists places for teachers to source captioned material.

Links to organisations of interest and other useful websites, as well as information about accessibility initiatives in education and relevant research are available at initiatives and organisations.
