teacher. a. School.
The supports from the school are in the forms of the following:

English. Computer as assistive technology for students with visual impairment. They can roam the world
without borders by using the internet. Besides that, the computer can install with Jaws and DBT software. The
Jaws software is software for screen reader which is able to change text into sound. Its works if installed in a
