Subject: ergonomics and vision

Does anyone have information on standards for lighting and delivery of
visual information for optimal performance in a classroom setting? I've
been asked to help in the design of a "communication accessible" classroom
with special attention paid to the needs of visually disabled students. I
don't really know where to start, so any advice would be helpful.
