since I am for the idea you talked about, I held regular meetings for eye-medical doctors in various places to talk about adaptive technologies for blind and low vision people.
I also publish arabic articles on my blog in this concern. if you read arabic just visit: http://blindPlus.blogspot.com and also I am preparing a subject material for the faculties intended with studying technology to add a new subject including assistive technology. It will help more people to get proper awareness of the rights of the visually impaired.
