Comparison of Language and Academic Achievement of Blind Students and Typical Students at School

Abstract

Language proficiency and academic achievement are critical factors influencing educational outcomes for all students. However, blind students often face unique challenges that can impact their language skills and academic performance compared to their sighted peers. This review article examines the existing literature on the language capabilities and academic achievements of blind students in comparison to typical students. By exploring the barriers, differences, and potential solutions, this article aims to provide insights for educators and policymakers to enhance educational practices and support for blind students.
