Summary/Abstract: The report presents the curricula for special education subjects for children and students with visual impairments, which are covered in the Inclusive Education Ordinance. A theoretical analysis of the main normative documents and literature sources on the subject is made. The main focus is on Guidance and Mobility Programmes, which is fundamental for visually impaired children/students. For them it is key to achieving independence and self-reliance in life. It is recommended that orientation and mobility training be combined with special subjects – useful skills, visual assistance. This opens up the possibility to use an interdisciplinary approach at the teacher's discretion for certain topics in individual/group sessions.
