Among blind and partially sighted people, there is a tendency to lead a more sedentary life. In order to encourage a more active, healthier lifestyle, this project, sponsored for the Videncenter for Synshandicap in Copenhagen, Denmark, created a catalog of physical activities for visually impaired youth. The catalog also contains suggestions for adapting new games and provides other resources that parents, educators, or coaches can consult. The catalog was published by the Videncenter for Synshandicap.
