Visually impaired people have yet to find their place in society. Most of the facilities designed to meet their needs are done in a way that ostracizes them from abled people, limiting the fulfillment of their social needs and effectively trapping them within a bubble of safety and security for the cost of restrained social connections and interactions. The blind usually do not choose to have their impairments, yet they are treated differently and unfairly both consciously, through bullying and manipulation, and subconsciously, through the promotion of design for the typically abled. They have proven time and time again to be just as capable and just as big of an asset to society as abled people, however, are still often overlooked due to their disability. The development of a school for the visually impaired that caters to both abled and disabled people but is designed with a focus on safe yet effective use for the visually impaired solves this problem. By providing a space that, through interaction, can instill social and collaborative skills into the visually impaired during their developmental years, they will be more readily equipped to take on harsher environments. On the other hand, the school will also produce able students and people that are more open to the capabilities of the visually impaired, paving the path for inclusivity in future generations. Additionally, the design of the school will act as a blueprint for future related buildings, showcasing the possibility of inclusive yet effective facilities. Lastly, knowledge of the care for the visually impaired is not generally known or heavily widespread. Providing a space that can serve as an information hub for all things regarding the visually impaired as a means of improving public image and awareness of the minority will help establish and fortify their part in society.
