Abstract
This paper describes techniques developed as solutions to problems encountered while teaching blind or visually impaired students in chemistry courses at high school and postsecondary levels. Establishing and maintaining a sound student–instructor relationship is critical to the success and implementation of a plan of action for blind or visually impaired students enrolled in chemistry courses.
