!!!Blindenunterricht

Schools for the Blind: Inspired by F.  Gaheis, J. W.  Klein 
founded a school for blind children in Vienna in 1804, which became a 
model for similar institutions all over Austria and Central Europe. In 
these schools, the other senses of the blind children were 
systematically trained and particular stress was placed on manual 
activities and memory training. After 1920, special classes were 
organized for blind and visually handicapped children in Vienna, the 
teaching methods of which became internationally famous ("Wiener 
Methode", Viennese method). Today, blind and visually handicapped 
children are taught in special schools  Sonderschulen.
