1.         The integration of Blind people into society

 

Due to the situation of blind people, as they are less capable for  physical work, they should be engaged in mental work. Here in our Association they will be given the power to achieve a great success. The perfect examples of that are: Homer, Borges, Ray Charles, the mathematician  Pontriagin, Philosopher Losev and others. Consequently, the way of their integration into society is running through the mental work and knowledge systems.

 

2. The creation of atmosphere and conditions for self-realization of blind people  by the development of writing system by Louis Braille was the progressive phenomenon  of that time, but it creates a peculiar isolation: this system can be used only by experts of Braille. It could not be applied between sighted and blind people. At the same time this system does not give the opportunity for Blinds to read the books, to get acquainted with knowledge system and information, which are created for sighted people.  This will cause their retardation  and  shall become the reason of their marginalization. So an essential condition for the integration of people with vision problems is to create such atmosphere, which gives the opportunity for  visually impaired people to use independently  the information aimed for the sighted people, also  be able to spread blind person`s  own information  for sighted people in their acceptable form, in other words, to read and  write as well as the sighted  people.

The creation of such environment and conditions will help in blind person`s intellectual  development, to get broad education, to become Professional of his or her  craft  and to be employed and ultimately to integrate in life.

As the main way of integration for blind people is a mental work, and computer is the necessary tool for modern mental workers, that`s why people with vision problems should work on it as well as sighted people. It should be noted that working on computers by itself causes the integration of Blind person into society. The computer is a good communication tool between broad masses of people, as for the dissemination of own created information, as well as  the finding and extracting of the information created by other people.
