  1. Challenges That Blind People Face

  2. Introduction • Blindness can be caused by things like genetics, infection, disease or injury. To be legally blind means that someone has vision that measures 20/200 or worse, explains the Iowa Department for the Blind.Blind School in Bangalore. • someone with 20/200 vision sees an object from 20 feet that a person with 20/20 vision is able to see from 200 feet. Becoming familiar with the challenges that blindness creates can help sighted people understand what people with no, or severely restricted vision, face each day.

  3. Environmental Challenges • In fact, physical movement is one of the biggest challenges for blind people, explains World Access for the Blind. Traveling or merely walking down a crowded street can be challenging. Because of this, many people with low vision will prefer to travel with a sighted friend or family member when navigating unfamiliar places. • Also, blind people must memorize the location of every obstacle or item in their home environment. Objects like beds, tables and chairs must not be moved without warning to prevent accidents. If a blind person lives with others, each member of the household has to be diligently about keeping walkways clear and all items in their designated locations.

  4. Social Challenges • Blindness can cause significant social challenges, typically because there are activities in which blind people can't easily participate. Frequently, blindness impacts a person's ability to perform many job functions, which can limit their career options, according to the World Health Organization. This may adversely affect their finances, and their self esteem. • Blindness may also cause difficulties when participating in activities outside of the workplace, such as sports and recreational activities.

  5. Technological Challenges • Blindness can make it difficult to use the internet for research, recreation, social media and shopping. • For example, someone who is blind can't directly read the information on a web page. Total blindness can make it necessary to rely on screen reading software to have the information read as audio. This can make surfing the web a slow and cumbersome process. Instead of seeing a picture, someone who is blind must rely on a description of what the picture shows.

  6. Conclusion Blind students experience challenges that impact on their academic success when studying through ODL.Blind Orphanage in Bangalore Educational institutions and families had been found wanting in terms of support both financially and morally. Blind students without adequate support are unlikely to succeed in their studies.
