ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the computer literacy of visually challenged individuals. Technological advancements are offering more affordable and effective solutions to support the inclusion of visually challenged individuals in educational, cultural, social, and workplace environments.

The results revealed that a significant number of visually challenged individuals utilize desktop and laptop computers for both professional and personal development. Data were analyzed using percentage-based statistical techniques. The study also highlighted the crucial role of support from family, friends, and institutions in providing the necessary devices and facilitating the acquisition of computer literacy skills. The findings suggest that improving computer literacy skills can lead to positive outcomes for the inclusion of visually impaired individuals into mainstream society.
