Visually-impaired can’t see coins !

Mon, 10/07/2013 - 11:16 -- deepti.gahrotra

With the visually impaired in the state having a hard time distinguishing the recently issued  Re 1, Re 2, Re 5 and 50 paise  coins, the Kerala chapter of  Daisy Forum of India, an NGO involved in production of books and reading material in blind accessible format, has submitted a memorandum to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to issue Braille-friendly notes and coins.

The NGO complains the visually impaired, who want to lead independent lives, are forced to depend on others to tell the coins apart.

Ideas for Orissa

We at Score Foundation are on the verge of launching Eyeway, the single stop knowledge resource on life with blindness in the State of Orissa.
Towards this end, we have conducted 4 two day workshops at Cuttack, Bhubaneshwar, Chandbani and Sambalpur. An average of 20 blind boys and girls attended these workshops where in we were focusing on goal setting, communication skills and the legal provisions.

These workshops were major eye openers for us. We were amazed at the extreme low levels of knowledge amongst the participants.

Smartphones help the visually impaired navigate their daily lives

Tue, 10/01/2013 - 15:31 -- deepti.gahrotra

Modern smartphones, such as the iPhone and Android devices, have made it easy for the visually impaired to interact with the world and have made their daily lives easier and more independent. Early on in the smartphone world, devices didn’t have much in the way of features that helped the visually impaired. Early on the iPhone only allowed users to enlarge the text, offering no help to those who were unable to see.

A question of vision, not sight

Mon, 09/30/2013 - 11:46 -- deepti.gahrotra

A new television series is trying to change society’s attitude towards the visually impaired.

"My family members don’t realise what I am doing on my own without their help. They only see what I don’t or cannot. This upsets me no end.” I remember these words by a senior research scholar I knew. He was visually impaired.
