VI Visually Impaired

 

It is estimated that there were just under 24,000 blind and partially sighted children and young people up to and including the age of 16 known to LEA/EA VI services in England, Scotland and Wales in 2002. One in two (50%) of the blind and partially sighted children identified in Britain had no other disabilities. A little under one in three (30%) had additional complex needs including severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties (SLD/PMLD), just under one in five (18%) of blind and partially sighted pupils known to VI services were found to have additional disabilities, other than SLD or PMLD.
