Visual impairment and communication
People with a visual impairment may have difficulty with
accessing:
- unfamiliar buildings
- written information
- visual presentations
- non-verbal communication such as gestures and facial
expressions.
 Written quote: Bill C who has hearing and visual impairments
Key actions
For a person with a visual impairment to engage more fully,
ask them what they require. This may be:
- good lighting
- documentation that uses a large, clear font and simple
layout
- audio advice and information
- audio recording of meetings
- access to equipment for producing braille documents or
recordings of documents
