What is an assistantship?
This is a form of assistance provided to people with various disabilities. The goal is to facilitate their daily activities and function in society. For blind individuals, assistance may include support with mobility, reading, writing, communication, and other daily activities.
Do you know how blind people function?
How do they perceive space and move? Do they go to the cinema and theater? If you don't know the answers to these questions but would like to find out, our workshop is for you!
