This research article aims to bridge the informational and infrastructural gap concerning the availability, awareness, and accessibility of non-optical devices for low-vision students in special schools of Delhi. This Article is grounded in the context of inclusive education and the role of assistive technology. A structured questionnaire was administered in special schools, focusing on three main areas: availability of devices, student awareness, and ease of accessibility. The data were collected from 5 special schools and 30 students with low vision. The data were analyzed quantitatively and presented graphically. Findings indicate a significant variation in availability and awareness levels, highlighting the need for improved policy implementation and resource allocation.
