Student & Partner Reviews
“I have lost my vision in my mid-30s. I was not sure how I could lead my life. I thought my career has ended. Reading without seeing workshop provided me hands on experience of using solutions and gave me a ray of hope to lead life with dignity. I subsequently learnt to use solutions and become independent”.
“Being visually impaired by birth, I had to depend on my family and friends to read books for me. Seeking human assistance had become difficult during my masters and become impossible during my PHD. I learnt about reading solutions through Reading without seeing workshop and am able to read and write independently now”.
“I am the principal of Manik Prabhu School. Great to see our visually impaired students excited and curious to know about assistive solutions through Reading Without Seeing Workshop. It was a first-hand experience for our students. Thanks to EnAble India for reaching out to our school remotely located in a village near Bidar, Karnataka.”
