A new way to independence for the blind and visually impaired - how? With innovative aids!

Life with limited vision or even blindness can be a real challenge. But don't worry! The technology has a lot to offer to make life easier for these people. From classic magnifying glasses to state-of-the-art IT solutions, there are numerous aids that represent real support. And now comes the best: a new, user -friendly internet platform sets the course for an improved aid supply!

The German Blind and Visual Course Association (DBSV), the German Association of Blind and Visually Impaired in the course of study and work (DVBS) and Pro Retina Germany are working on a great initiative to help those affected on their way to their aid needs. Because those affected are often confronted with a jungle of information and applications that can drive him to despair.

What is important to know now?

Questions about questions! Where does the application for assumption of costs have to be made? Can I also claim the costs retrospectively if I urgently needed an aid? And who actually pays the instruction in the use of the device? What counts as a tool is also often unclear.

In order to offer more clarity and support overall, the legal department of the DBSV has prepared helpful information. On the new service page entitled "Tips on the aid supply", those affected will find all the important information that is needed to successfully master the way to the aid.

Access to the platform is very simple! At www.woche-des-sehens.de/hilfsmittel can find out comprehensive information and actively tackle the supply of aids.

a day for blind people: October 15th

But that's not all - on October 15th is the international day of the White Stock! This important day was launched by the US Congress in 1964 and is now a worldwide day of action that draws attention to the interests of blind people. Who would have thought that the then President Lyndon B. Johnson triggered a real movement with his proclamation?

In Germany, this campaign day in 2002 was founded as the end of the week of vision, which this year is under the motto "clearly see". This whole week from October 8th to October 15th is worn by well-known organizations such as the Christoffel blind mission and the DBSV.

Clarity, education and independence - these are the key points of this initiative, supported by Aktion Mensch. Further exciting information can be found at www.woche-des-sehens.de .

Berlin, the capital, becomes a setting for the important topics of the blind and visually impaired people - now is the moment when everyone can be active!
