[AI] Please suggest swimming academy located in delhi that teaches swimming to a totally blind person
hi list members, this is shrey, resides in south-west delhi. I am interested to learn swimming, so, could anyone suggest me good swimming academy located in Delhi that teaches swimming to a totally blind person? I visited some of the swimming academies located nearby my residential area but all of them showed reluctance to teach swimming to a totally blind person.

Re: [AI] Which are the Accessible games on mobiles/computers played by blind kids?
hi, although there are plenty of accessable games available for visually challenged people, though, I would like to Zero-in some of them. Apart from above suggested games, q nine action, battle zone, psyco strike, 3d snake, are some of the action games (amongst many) which can be played on computer. For sports, I would suggest you to try games produced by vipgameszone such as-super football, super tennis and many more. Please visit the following link where you could find plenty of accessible audio games. https://www.audiogames.net/ the blind legend, audio game hub, and blind cricket are some of the accessible games which are available on both, play store (anroide) and app store (apple) platform. Hope it helps. On 12/11/18, Aparna Sachdev wrote: > Hi > The blindfold games series for iOS is a good resource when it comes to > gaming - they have over 30 games that rely solely on audio cues.
