Abstract | Students who are blind or visually impaired (BVI), like all students, need to conduct scientific investigations that involve measurements and reading experimental procedures. Best instructional practices for BVI students include touch and hearing experiences. Related strategies and tools include electronic textbooks, assistive technologies such as screen magnifiers and readers, voice commands on cell phones, enlarged fonts and spacing, tactile models, and Braille transcription of print. In this article, a student with BVI uses assisted technologies and modified devices to independently participate in the Science Education Against Drug Abuse Partnership (SEADAP), through which students conduct drug addiction research on planarians (flatworms). The project, titled "Planarians and the pharmacology of addiction: An in vivo model for K-12 education," is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health (NIH). Typically, students enrolled in advanced placement (AP) statistics, biology, AP biology, or honors chemistry conduct independent research after school for two hours once a week for 14 weeks at a nearby university.
