Exporeal by Bike 2024 - Let´s make the good thing happen together

Association of Parents and Friends of visual imparimented Children in the Czech Republic, z. s. is a non-profit organization supporting visually imparimented children in many ways. One of them is a physical development. We organise regular camps with swimming and physiotherapy programs for blind and visually impaired children as well as annual meetings of children and their families for the purpose of integration and sharing of professional experiences. The Association is the author of a unique project of Library of tactile books for childern with visual impairments. 

Blindness or impaired vision causes significant limitations in spontaneous movement: a large part of sporting activities is spent by the child in rational assessment of the situation, spatial understanding, concentrated auditory and tactile work, increased efforts to ensure balance (in which case vision cannot participate). As a result of the above, some parts of the body are underdeveloped, loose, others are stiff, unstretched, the positions of the body and its parts are atypical, the risk of serious health problems increases significantly. Examples of this include overly heavy hands, as tactile work is constant, and even Picht's Braille typewriter, requires enormous finger strength. In ordinary walking alone, the hands do not have the opportunity for normal alternating movement, because they are holding a white cane, a guide dog or a guide. We are so glad for having the team of professional trainers team experienced and specialized in working with visually impaired children.
