Abstract
This paper investigates the parental participation,their perceptions and opinions about the education of their visually handicapped children in the first institute for the blinds children in Multan Pakistan. Students with visual impairments have unique educational needs which could most effectively meet using a team approach of professionals,parents and students. In order to meet their unique needs,students must have specialized services, books and materials in appropriate media to enable them to most effectively compete with their peers in school and ultimately in society.This study examines the role of education imparted by the institute as felt by the parents of visually impaired children admitted at the institute for blinds.
