This paper describes the problems of information acquisition for students with the AVI(Acquired Visual Impairment) in special needs education school. The solutions to facilitate the information acquisition attracted much attention since the types of disabilities had been diversified with an increase of the number of the adult students with the AVI in the high school. The students, having different views for the same information, seem to have difficulties in the information acquisition for activities in school. We conducted the questionnaire survey for the teachers in the high schools above and examined the key issues: (1) supporting solutions by teachers, (2) source of knowledge and information, and (3) inconvenience and problem for students. Teachers devised various methods for teaching students. Students relied on textbooks, teaching materials and teachers as source of knowledge and information. They suffered from the inability to see books, websites and blackboard clearly. We presented the categorical principal components that characterize the relation between information sources and inconvenience of students.
