Blindness & Low Vision’s World Today


Blindness & Low Vision’s World Today
Days of past, and the lives and history of lifestyle and the Treatment of the Blind and Visually Impaired.
Various times throughout our recorded history, those of Blindness were portrayed as invalids, paupers, as well as helpless beggars. It remained the opinion of the common public for Centuries. In even recent history the Blind were put into institutions along with those of Mental Disabilities, in Schools the children were separated, and taught little. Today I even know people of Blindness that as a child competed in the Special Olympics, and their Mobility Training consisted of being handed a cane and sent up the street to retrieve another’s Dry Cleaning. Until Braille there was very limited education available. With the creation of Braille based off of the French Language it took quite some time for others to learn the patterns of Braille, and even longer to instruct or educate others. To say the3 least History hasn’t been Kind to the Blind….
