Students with visual impairment require the information from their textbooks or worksheets to be magnified or in Braille. The closed circuit television (CCTV) and video magnifier are useful magnifying aids for students with low vision. The students would place the reading material under a camera and the magnified image would be projected on the computer monitor.

Students who are totally blind learn the skill of Braille reading. The text information in its print form is converted into Braille using a computer and an embosser. Information from the computer is sent to the embossers for output in Braille.

The talking dictionary is another assistive device that is useful for the students who are in search of meanings of various words. In a method that is similar to the talking calculator, the voice output reads out the meaning of the word to the students.

Students with hearing impairment use the FM system in the classrooms. The FM system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The system provides direct transmission from the teacher's transmitter/microphone to the student's receiver. This results in the clearer and better transmission of sound between teacher and student, thus, allowing the student to receive a clearer voice input.

With these special assistive devices, students with sensory impairments are assured that they are given every opportunity to do well in school.
