Arabic term or phrase: الدروس البصریة
Hi everyone,

I am translating a story by a Syrian author about a couple who have children with disabilities. I am wondering if this term means "sign language lessons" or if it means that the lesson the girl receives at school are taught by a teacher who uses sign language themselves.

تسافر ماریانا كل یومٍ إلى المدینة، تتعلّم الدروس البصریة، وتستعین بجهاز السمع یوصل إلیها ذبذبات الكمان في درس الموسیقى

Many thanks!

Explanation:
Hello,

What you share in Arabic tells me that we know that there's something visual and nothing tells us that a sign language is involved. However, a visual lesson is not a term. It just emphasizes the visual element in delivering the lesson. So, feel free to translate it differently based on your knowledge of the context. .

Good luck.
