Abstract

With great interest I read the article titled 'Human Anatomy: Teaching-Learning Experience of a Support Teacher and a Student with Low Vision and Blindness' by Mendonça and colleagues (2021) and I would like to commend all the staff involved for their commitment in delivering accessible anatomical education. This article describes techniques employed by a highly qualified support teacher to assist a student with low vision and blindness in learning anatomy, in addition to the learning experiences of this student. Further publications have also discussed techniques employed to teach anatomy to students with visual impairments (Diniz and Sita, 2019; Muchlinski et al., 2020, Hospitál, 2020).
