Abstract
Background: The needs of visually impaired children and the ordinary children are in general the same. Visually impaired children need to be provided more opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills. Parental care and attitudes have fundamental influences on the development of students with visual impairment. There are already findings that Parental-child relationship, societal attitudes and the way the visually impaired child adjust with his disability determine his life success largely. Even though there might have some homogeneity in the needs and problems faced by visually impaired children and the parental care and attitude towards them around the world but at the same time the principle of uniqueness of individuality must not be excluded.
