Excerpt from The Education of Handicapped School Children in MichiganFirst, let us consider \the education of the partially sighted in cities large enough to have a special class before we take up the education of these pupils in the rural districts and in the smaller cities where there are not enough such children to form a special class. From the. Point of view of education, the partially sighted child is one whose vision, even after it has been corrected as far as possible by glasses, is so defective that he cannot read ordinary print at all or without injury to vision, yet is able to read large print. The classes that have. Been formed for such children in the public schools are commonly known as conservation of Vision classes or sight saving classes. The latter name is preferable.In selecting pupils for a sight saving class there evidently is little difficulty in finding the child whose vision is so defective that he cannot even with glasses read ordinary print. The problem is to discover those pupils who are able to read print of ordinary size, yet in so doing are straining their eyes. Half the pupils in the sight saving classes of Cleveland are myopes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
