Book's introduces to help the visually impaired

Representatives of the Association of Blind and Visually Impaired People of Serbia Beli stap/White Cane, together with several other associations of persons with disabilities, discussed the problems faced by the students with visual and other handicaps in their university studies, and how to assist their studies.

The “Nasa Knjiga” (Our Book) action, implemented by White Cane Association, has the goal to provide each student with text-books in a form most suited to his/her needs. Vesna Nestorovic, President of the Association, said that the blind students and students with impaired vision should be able to have access to electronic books, since that is the form best suited to their needs and the needs of their studies.

Nestorovic emphasized that the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Policies distributed 111 oral programmes to blind and visually impaired persons and added that the students should contact the Association with their requests for books needed in electronic form, and the Association will, in turn, notify the Ministry.
