Definition

  • Blind and low-vision students' access to formal schooling has been a topic of significant importance for centuries, but still remains a great challenge. In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that over 285 million people of all ages were visually impaired, of whom about 39 million were totally blind.
