Children with Vision Impairments

Children and young people who are blind or have low vision, requiring adapted educational approaches including Braille instruction, tactile learning materials, audio resources, and assistive technology. India has the world's largest population of children with vision impairments, many of whom attend residential schools for the blind that differ significantly from mainstream inclusive education settings. Educational challenges include delayed access to Braille textbooks, limited STEM teaching materials, and the need for multi-sensory approaches that translate visual concepts into accessible formats.
