Unione Italiana dei Ciechi e degli ipovedenti

The Unione Italiana dei Ciechi e degli ipovedenti was born in 1920, after the first postwar period, out of the determination, strength and courage of the young war-blind Aurelio Nicolodi, with the goal of recovering the dignity of people who found themselves, like him, blind. From that moment, training schools were opened to put people with visual disabilities into work. From that time special schools are established in many cities of Italy, allowing study through braille and psychomotor and personal autonomy experience with trained instructors.

Grosseto Provincial Section

The territorial section was founded around the 1950s and has been involved in supporting inclusion, rehabilitation and prevention ever since. The association has active many paths aimed at accessibility in the territory both for external usability and for public and private entities: it is present within the Council of Disability to work together on shared projects in the social sphere and towards an educational and experiential culture of disability interacting with the various school levels.
