A second-generation interactive classroom television system for the partially sighted.

This paper describes the various parts of a new interactive classroom television system (ICTS) that is being used by partially sighted elementary school children. This ICTS permits children to view one of seven separately controlled TV screens and thereby be in continuous visual communication with their teacher, classmates, and classroom. Comments are made on the advantages of educating partially sighted children separately from normally sighted children.

Headborne illuminator for the partially sighted.

An inexpensive, headborne device is described that provides a bright spot of light on reading material even when the material is brought within 1 or 2 cm of the viewing eye. This aid has been used with great success by one of the authors for about 2 yr. This illuminator, or modifications of it, should prove valuable to other partially sighted people.
