summary

This volume compiles the papers presented at the National Seminar on Rehabilitation and Education of People with Low Vision and Blindness. The collection covers developmental and educational issues from infancy through school age, including the impact of visual impairment on cognitive, motor, social, and emotional development. Several contributions address orientation and mobility training, independent travel, and environmental adaptations for children and adults with visual impairment. Other chapters focus on sexual education for deaf-blind individuals, family needs, psychological adjustment, and social integration. The book also discusses assistive technologies such as screen readers, Braille devices, and ICT applications, as well as low-vision aids, telescopic implants, and optical solutions. Additional papers examine sports and physical activity, vocational training, employment, and the role of supportive workshops and NGOs. Together, the proceedings provide a multidisciplinary perspective on improving rehabilitation, education, and quality of life for people with low vision and blindness.
