Abstract
This study examined the academic performance of students with Visual Impairments in Mathematics at Colleges of Education. It investigated their academic performance, instructional approaches, and best practices for teaching them at M.C. and M.S. Colleges. The research revealed that students with visual impairments struggled academically due to the lack of sight and neglect. Instructional methods primarily relied on sight-dependent techniques, and lecturers lacked the skills to effectively teach visually impaired students. The study found that adaptive materials and Braille were not used. It recommended using touch-based teaching materials, Braille, and modifying approaches to meet individual needs.
