Although each situation is different and the student is the best
source of information regarding useful accommodations, the
following are some accommodations that should help to make the
laboratory safer for students with visual impairments and all of
the students in your class: - All written instructions should be
provided in electronic or Braille format. - Visual warnings,
such as flashing lights, should be paired with audible alarms. -
For a lab where the student must make visual observations,
particularly if safety is involved, pair the student with a
student who is not visually impaired, and make sure both
students have a role to play in the group. - Keep paths to exits
clear, and try to keep furniture and other objects out of the
path. - Make sure all students know where the safety equipment
in the room is located, and make Braille or tactile labels. For
more information on making science laboratories accessible to
students with disabilities, you can visit the Regional
Disability Liaison Unit  at Deakin
