This is one page that i copy paste from Mitra Netra, a n institution about blind students for rehabilitation, schiools, etc.
REHABILITATION
The one who because of any reason becomes blind either low vision or total blind categories, generally feels psychological, mental, and social obstacles. This situation is often happened since there are nobody ever imagines being blind. The new blind generally is disappointed and frustrated, feels inferior, loses hope, and powerless. This mental unbalance is followed by an effort to search a scapegoat; blaming on himself, other people who had made him suffer, or even God. The continuous conflict and emotional stress makes the blind lose his life spirit and hope of his future.
The negative opinion about blinds and the lack of information about blindness have worsened the situation faced by the new blind and his family. When a patient of ophthalmologist is medically decided unrecoverable, he has no idea about to whom he must ask any help. As a consequence, the new blind does not get any advanced assistance and just stay at home all the time. This bad treatment makes the blind feels that he is neglected, shameful, burdening, and powerless in his family and community, whereas he has still much other potential to be developed optimally.
The objectives of Rehabilitation Program of Mitra Netra Foundation are as follows:
To help in recovering the mental and psychological balance for those who just get blind, either in total or low vision blind categories; so that they can accept their new condition, have new future and new plan for his life.
To give any basic skills and capabilities, which are, needed by the blinds to be independent and powerful in his society.
The Rehabilitation Program organized by Mitra Netra Foundation includes:
The Blindness Counseling Service by the Fellow Blinds

Orientation and Mobility Trainings
Sight decrease or disappearance gives the blinds some difficulties in doing their daily activities. Therefore, they need a skill to enable them recognize their environment, move from one to another place, and carry out daily activities without becoming dependent on others´ help.
The Orientation and Mobility Trainings are trainings to provide the blinds with ability and skill in optimizing their senses in order to help them recognize environment, move and go to other place, and carry out daily activities effectively and securely. Those with orientation and mobility skills are hoped to be independent and have self confidence to continue their life.

These courses are provided by an instructor for about two months.
Support Group for the Parents of Blind Children
Parents and other family members have various responds to the birth of a baby. It is understandable; remembering that all parents hope that their baby is born without any obstacle or disease. When a baby is born with sight problem, generally its parents do not understand what they should do. They are also worried about the future of this baby.
Support-group is a group activity organized to accommodate parents of blind children to help each other by sharing their experiences in facing, taking care of, and bring up their children.
Support-Group has regular meeting, which is facilitated by a Counselor and invites informant to give any positive inputs for the parents.
