Abstract
Adaptation and evaluation of a materials centered experiential curriculum for elementary age visually impaired children is described. The adaptations of both the physical and the life science units can be used in classes with one or two visually impaired students and in classes of all visually impaired students. Evaluation measures were designed to assess the major objectives of each unit. Classroom trials of two of the adapted units revealed that visually impaired students made significant gains in understanding both content and process objectives of the units.
