Earlier it was mentioned that approximately one third of all blind or visually impaired students access the services of the NCBI. Where does the remaining two thirds go for help?

Initially, there was provision for people in special classes and special schools, and then further down the criteria there is provision for people with disabilities, sensory impairment and so on. What are the difficulties?
