  The authors consider that the barriers - attitudinal, environmental, physical and institutional - which visually impaired students encounter, play a prominent part in dissuading visually impaired students from taking up their rights within tertiary education. This book tackles the many myths and misconceptions surrounding blindness and partial sight. It challenges prejudices and attitudes and promotes the idea of inclusive learning.
