Text adaptation involves making the existing text more comprehensible for students. Methods for adapting textbooks include using study guides, highlighting important points, or using alternatives to reading such as audio taping text chapters or reading aloud. To minimize the time involved in making adaptations, Mr. Ellis wants to consider purchasing commercially available study guides. In addition, he may pair students with another student who can read aloud the text.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
