The purpose of this study is to find solutions to issues, of which three were encountered, with teaching Japanese to a blind student. The first is difficulty with visual information such as pictures. The second is the difficulty with discriminating and understanding words. The third is the difficulty with understanding the entire picture regarding information about tasks or questions. As for solutions, we used oral descriptions and realia for the first difficulty, we made example sentences for the second, and for the third, we described beforehand, how and in what order tasks were to be carried out.
