Now, allow me to share three interesting statistics with you from Fact Sheet
Blindness and Low Vision| National Federation of the Blind:

 

v  Nonvisual access to computer technology is an ever-increasing challenge
for the blind. Most educational and employment opportunities are now and
will continue to be dependent on the blind individual's ability to access
and use a full range of computer and internet technology.

v  Just 1% of the blind population is born without sight. The vast majority
of blind people lose their vision later in life because of macular
degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetes.

v  A Gallup poll shows that blindness is the third most feared physical
condition in our nation, surpassed only by fears of cancer and AIDS. 

 

These three startling statistics listed above are simply a notice/reminder
about why education and training for the blind and visually impaired are
vital to a successful outcome. With proper education and training, the blind
and visually impaired can live the Lives That They Want!
