Mathematics and science is the bedrock of critical thinking. Visually impaired learners in Ghana pursue mathematics and science at the basic level in both inclusive and special schools settings. Unfortunately when the learners reach secondary education levels, they suddenly find these subjects outside their grasp and perform dismally. This paper seeks to shed light on the accessibility of blind learners to the subject areas of mathematics and science within the programme of inclusive education at the senior high level. Despite challenges, e.g., those arising from the collaboration between resource persons and teachers, recognition of extra roles of resource person, extra time requirement for teaching etc., success has been realized. For instance, teachers have improvised when they lack of specialized equipment, blind learners have responded favourably, interest has been rekindled in the subjects and there has been corresponding seriousness in junior classes.
