Which method is described as providing real-world exposure to careers for visually impaired students?

• A. Job shadowing.
• B. Online career quizzes
• C. Classroom lectures
• D. Internship in a laboratory

Answer: (A)

Observing professionals on the job gives authentic exposure to what a career actually looks like in a real setting. Job shadowing lets a visually impaired student accompany a worker, watch how tasks are performed, hear the thought processes behind decisions, and experience the workplace environment firsthand. This kind of direct, real-world observation helps the student visualize themselves in that role and understand the skills, tools, and accommodations that might be needed. Online career quizzes and classroom lectures offer information or self-assessment but don’t provide the live, day-to-day view of work. An internship can also provide real-world exposure, but it often involves longer time commitments and specific safety or access considerations that shadowing doesn’t.
