Bakerop. cit., p. 29; Romaine Mackie, Education of Visually Handicapped Children, Bulletin 1951, No. 20, Washington 25: Office of Education, Federal Security Agency, 1951, p. 6 stated that one in 5,000 children of school age is blind.

The American Foundation for the Blind has suggested that such a special classroom be referred to as a “Resource Room.” It is a room or area set aside in the school in which the special teacher and blind children may work together on any educational need that the children may have in their effort to participate and sustain themselves in the learning activities in the regular classrooms along with normal seeing children. It should be equipped with braille machines, slates and styluses, typewriters, recorded study material, Talking Book machines, sensory training materials, models, and other devices and supplies employed in the instruction of blind children.
