Attention should be given to classroom organization and management so as to provide optimum learning. The classroom should be big enough to allow the children safe mobility. The children should be provided with large desktops for their bulky textbooks and equipment so that they can have a comfortable work area. Since natural light is the best source of illumination, low vision children will benefit from sitting by the window or the Wyteboard.
Although better illumination often improves the perception of low vision children, direct sunlight should be avoided. Venetian blinds can be installed to address the problem. In gloomy days or other adverse illumination situations, intensive lights with background lighting of diffused fluorescent lights can be installed in the classroom especially for low vision children who use ink-print books. As far as possible, the surface of furniture or walls should best be in matt finish to avoid unnecessary glare. In order to facilitate the use of intensive lighting, audio and visual equipment, adequate electric power points should be installed safely in appropriate places.
The classroom should be equipped with adequate notice-boards for display of learning materials, timetables, schedules, educational posters, children's work, etc. both in print and in braille. Materials and equipment kept in a particular classroom or special room should be clearly labelled in large print or in braille to give the children easy access. Should the teacher find it necessary to move the furniture in the classroom, all children should be informed beforehand.
