Parents themselves shared their practical knowledge. During the conference we have come to understand that we cannot think of the future without bearing in mind the new technologies. We are facing a lot of challenges. On one hand the electronic book has developed, on the other hand - there is still the basic need for Braille literacy. Both the Braille and synthetic languages will go together but we must find the right balance between them.
Sighted children have similar problems.
They can choose between television, video, the Internet and at the same time they need to become literate. The visually impaired children have the chance to join the others in this complicated situation. The participants showed the highest degree of activity compared to all the previous conferences. We enter the new millennium with optimism because we are together and thus we can achieve a lot more. Sofia University, dept. of special education Shipchensky prohod str.
