Although visually impaired students attend regular high school, their enrolment in advanced science
classes is dramatically low. In our research we evaluated the physics learning environment of a
blind high school student in a regular Dutch high school. For visually impaired students to grasp
physics concepts, time and additional materials to support the learning process are key. Time for
teachers to develop teaching methods for such students is scarce. Suggestions for changes to the
learning environment and of materials used are given.
