Abstract: Students with visual impairments have unique educational needs. In order to meet these, the students must be catered with specialized services, instructional materials, equipment and technology so they can have equal access to the core learning and be able to compete with the society. For this purpose, the proponents developed Gabay Tinig that consists of a 3D audiobook (which contains four (4) chapters: Filipino Alphabet, Mathematics, Language, and Nursery Rhymes), mobile application (made interactive with the voice recognition feature) and sing-alongs. This paper explores the 3D audiobook's effectiveness as a lesson supplement for class discussions.
