HI, Accessibility for total blindness is uniform. But when it comes to low vision, it differs from person to person, time to time, and situation to situation. Also, is it 75% vision or disability? I think its the later.
Here are a few tips: 1. For reading text books, try enlarging the text by taking photostat copy on A3 paper. When I had 75% disability, I could read text on A3 paper. 2. For writing, use black sketch pen. It helps a lot. 3. Coming to low vision aids, there are devices available ranging from simple magnifiers to electronic magnifiers which not only enlarge the text but also change the colour contrast. IQ and Zoomex are a few widely used ones. 4. There are screen magnifiers like Magic and Zoom Text for using computers. But for all the above things, and anything else, the boy's vision should be evaluated for suggesting the right device for his condition and needs. Where is the boy living? I know LVA centers in Hyderabad and Chennai.
