Hi, I am interested in using the wii fit plus in a school for visually impaired children with other needs. Has anyone got any thoughts or tips on games to use with significant auditory feedback? Many are partially sighted and so may manage but any tips for significant impairments would be helpful. Thanks Jo

The yoga and gym games often have audio feedback. Some have this feature because performing the exercise in question takes your eyes off of the screen; the 'Sun Salutation' yoga exercise is an example of this. Others have it to help you keep your balance; the 'Warrior' yoga exercise is an example of this.
The endurance jogging games provide auditory feedback through the Wiimote. The feature is there so that you can watch television while jogging, but it will also work for those with visial impairments.
Mainly it is a matter of trying each game to see how an student gets on with it. Someone with some sight, for instance, might be able to manage the obstacle course. Someone with almost no sight will probably want to stick to the gym exercises, yoga exercises and the jogging games.
