title: [Support and counseling of blind and visually handicapped students].
abstract: The historical development is summarized: The institutions for the blind, mostly founded in the 19th century, kept the children isolated in a special surrounding. In the day schools, developed in the middle of the 20th century, the child gets specially adapted schooling daily, but lives still with his family. Todays tendencies go for integration of the child in the normal school. This is possible by supporting children and teachers by specially trained persons visiting the child regularly in school. An example of this pedagogical support is given, the techniques are described in detail.
