    This case study document discusses the need to understand different education models for visually impaired students, including the components, operations, and space standards of such models. It also notes that understanding case studies of various school projects with dormitories can help with choosing an appropriate model and examining factors like movement patterns and space standards. Three project examples will be analyzed to understand these considerations.

    RESOURCES FOR THE BLIND, INC.

    Resources for the Blind began as a personal project of Dr. Arthur Lown to produce a braille version of
    the Filipino Bible. Blind since childhood, Dr. Lown retired as Director of the Atlanta Public Schools
    Services for Blind Students in 1970 and moved from the United States to the Philippines to serve as
    the administrator of the Manila branch of the Summer Institute of Linguistics. In 1980, three blind
    Filipino pastors, learning about Dr. Lown's interest in Bible translation, visited him to request his help
    in transcribing the Filipino Bible into braille. Thus began the first project of what would become
    Resources for the Blind.
    A non-government Christian organization serving blind people all over the Philippines since 1988.
    They are devoted to removing the obstacles and providing the services, trainings, materials, and
    equipment needed in order for them to reach their fullest potential in life.

    In 2015, RBI received a number of complaints about universities and colleges refusing admission to
    students with visual impairment. The usual reasons given were: a) the teachers were not ready to
    handle students with visual impairment and b) they did not have the special tools needed to teach
    them. This is a serious blatant violation of the Magna Carta for Persons with Disability which provides
    that PWDs must be given full access to quality education, but many academic institutions are still
    unaware that such a law exists.

    Florida School for the Deaf and Blind

    The school opened in December, 1885 as The School for the Blind, Deaf and Dumb. Although the
    school had both black and white children in its early years, social opposition to racial integration was
    rampant, and the Florida Institute for the Blind, Deaf and Dumb, Colored Department was created in
    1895. By 1892, there were 62 students enrolled and the first graduation ceremony, for two white deaf
    students, Artemas W. Pope and Cora Carlton, was held in 1898. The first graduation for a white blind
    student, DeWitt Lightsey, was held in 1898 and the first graduation for a black blind student, Louise
    Jones, was in 1914. The first graduation for a black deaf student, Cary White, was in 1925.The school
    was racially integrated in 1967 with the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind.

    The school was under the direction of a five-member board of trustees until 1905. The Florida
    legislature established the present seven-member Board of Trustees in 1963.

    Construction began on new dormitories in late 1958 and they opened in 1959. Taylor Hardwick was
    the architect of record.
    The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind is a state-supported boarding school for deaf and blind
    children established in 1885, in St. Augustine, Florida, United States.
