When by chance you meet a person walking with a dog on his face, who has black glasses, a cane in his hand and a talking clock in his pocket, you involuntarily think about his life. How does being with disabilities differ from most people?
Instruction manual

In their home, blind people orient themselves very easily. All objects in the home should not change their position, and then everything will be fine. For several days a person learns to navigate very easily and quickly. Sliding interior and furniture doors protect against injuries, and carpet paths indicate the direction of movement. TV, radio, mechanical watches and landline phones help to navigate in space.

It is difficult for blind people to find work. The organization of their workplace requires special expensive equipment, so the financial side of their life is almost completely dependent on social security.

Most visually impaired people do not have their own families. It has been proven by medicine that blind parents may well have sighted children, but it is difficult to imagine how they can solve the problems and problems that they face in the process of raising and caring for their child.

If a person is blind from birth, then other senses in his body try to compensate for the work of the eyes. The blind themselves believe that their sensations have extrasensory qualities, and they see with their hearts. And it’s hard to doubt it, looking at photographs and paintings made by blind people, or listening to the sound of their voice in a song.

Today, the problem of socialization of people with disabilities has become increasingly common. At the state level, laws are enacted that oblige the authorities of all settlements to organize appropriate conditions for normal life. For trips to the store, pharmacy, to work, a so-called barrier-free environment is created, ramps are built and signal traffic lights are installed. The All-Russian Society of the Blind provides psychological, cultural and professional rehabilitation. Provides a need for interpersonal communication and books.
