Schools for the Blind

          Blind children can get an education in the same class as sighted children, quite often there is a resource room which provides needed assistance, adaptive equipment, and other services. However specialized schools are also helpful since they can provide more specialized instruction in blindness skills. Here is a list of some of those schools.
