This article explores the experiences of students with low vision in preparing for state exams, which can be a challenging and stressful process due to the range of skills required, including reading, writing, and critical thinking. The lack of appropriate accommodations and support during exam preparation further exacerbates the difficulties faced by these students. The article identifies specific challenges encountered by low vision students, such as difficulties with reading, writing, and accessing appropriate accommodations, and emphasizes the importance of fostering a positive and inclusive school culture that values diversity. The article provides recommendations for supporting low vision students during state exam preparation, including increasing awareness, providing assistive technology and accommodations, training teachers and exam proctors, advocating for accessible state exams, encouraging self-advocacy, and involving parents and caregivers. The article suggests that a more inclusive approach to state exam preparation is necessary to ensure that low-vision students have an equal opportunity to succeed in their exams.
