Intro Physics Physics problems for visually impared children

Click For Summary
Research on teaching physics to visually impaired children highlights a need for resources that focus on well-written, descriptive problems rather than tactile methods or visual aids. The goal is to find a textbook or collection of physics problems that provide detailed descriptions without requiring calculations or illustrations. The Bennett test is mentioned as a reference but is deemed unsuitable due to its reliance on visuals. The discussion also raises questions about the age and academic preparation of the students to tailor the content effectively. Overall, there is a clear demand for accessible educational materials that cater specifically to the needs of visually impaired learners in physics.

So I'm currently doing research on studying physics by visually impaired children. I know, that there are many techniques to teach such a kid physics, but what I don't like about these techniques is that they are mostly tactile-based and implement graphs and illustrations in Braille and real-life physical objects.

Don't get me wrong - I understand, that you must compensate the lack of visuals with something, but what I am searching for is a textbook or just a collection of simple physics problems, that don't require calculations, but are well-written with detailed descriptions, so that you don't need graphs and illustrations to understand it.

The closest thing to what I'm searching for is Bennett test, but this test requires visuals.

What are the age/grade level(s) of the students? What kind of academic preparation would they have prior to your course?
 
Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
