The variety of obstacles they may find on their way is quite large mainly because the term “visually impaired” encompasses a wide range of deficits, ranging from blindness to a number of other multifaceted, although less severe, visual impairments. It highlights to improve the quality of life for people with visual disabilities and contribute to the economic and cultural development of the society they belong. ICT is very important to make available the lifelong access to high quality education and training for their vocational, social, and personal needs. The application of ICTs must empower as well as enhance independence, integration, and equal opportunities for such people and in this way will facilitate their inclusion in society as valued, respected, and contributing members..
