How can I make a sports or activity club accessible for children with a Vision Impairment?
British Blind Sport have a number of resources with information on supporting and coaching people with vision impairment. This guidance can easily be adapted to suit children.
Depending on the sport or activity, simple adaptions can make a real difference with little cost. These include making things tactile, being descriptive and making things high contrast. You could also encourage them to come early to check out the setting or come as a spectator a few times so the action can be described to them, so they know what to expect.
If the adaptions you make include purchasing specialist equipment, you may be able to get funding for this from organisations such as Disability sports.
