Research evidence for mathematics education for students with visual impairment: A systematic review

A systematic review including studies focused on teachers’ attitudes and experiences, the use of abacus, tactile graphics, and the development of mathematical concepts. The results showed that the studies had different aims and methods, and only four studies reported eye disorder diagnoses. The authors conclude that it is to be expected that students with VI but without cognitive disabilities will follow their grade level in mathematics. The findings highlight the need for more randomly controlled, high quality trials in order to obtain more evidence and knowledge of mathematics education among students with VI.
