When you’re visually impaired, finding a place to live can be a challenge. It’s not enough to be able to get around in a particular place: There needs to be jobs available, accessible buildings and sidewalks, a well-organized transit system, and, hopefully, recreational things to do.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to take part in the fun and excitement of sports. Sadly, there once was a time when getting exercise, socialization, and motivation through sports was quite difficult for visually impaired individuals. Luckily, that’s all changing. Now, athletes with low and no vision are able to participate in a wide variety of sports.
