Abstract

The author gives an overview of the history and present situation of the education of children with a visual impairment in Hungary. A survey of the different services shows that they began long before they had a legal basis. Hungary has sound laws but the economic situation, even though it has substantially developed, is still not so strong as to provide enough financial support for programmes. The number of itinerant teachers is not sufficient, mainstreamed children are not equipped well enough and the price of access technology is extremely high. An Eastern European Network for Access Technology (Project EENAT) aims to address many aspects of access technology. The main challenge and development in this field is Windows accessibility in the Eastern and Central European region.
