Use these positioning guidelines when considering the placement of the computer and student with low vision in the classroom.
| Considerations | ||
| Monitor | Make sure the monitor and keyboard are in visual range to reduce glare. Position the monitor at a 90-degree angle to an outside window. Position the monitor so the top of the screen is at the student's eye level. | |
| Lighting | Overhead lighting should be dim and indirect to prevent glare that can cause eyestrain. Use an individual lamp to illuminate a copy stand. Consider using a removable anti-glare screen. | |
| Student Chair | Use a chair that fits the student's body size and has an adjustable seat height. Feet should rest firmly on the floor. Use a footrest if needed. | |
| Table: Computer | A table or desk that is adjustable in height can help correctly position the computer and keyboard. | |
| Table: Student | Forearms should be parallel to the floor and wrists should be straight. Position the mouse at the height of the keyboard. |
