Auszug:	In 2008 RNIB embarked on an ambitious project to interview around 40 blind and partially sighted children, most of whom were receiving their education in mainstream schools, talking about their lives at school and at home. The contents of these interviews were edited and grouped under headings to reflect key aspects of children’s lives. The result was over two hours’ worth of audio material which was produced as an audio DVD entitled ‘Hear Me Out’. In this article we present a sample of children’s views taken from the interviews. If you would like to find out more about what the children have to say, the DVD is on sale from RNIB either on its own or as part of a package with ‘Count Me In’, a video DVD showing good practice in the inclusion of blind and partially sighted children in a range of educational settings. Details of how to purchase both resources are given at the end of this article. (Source: Introduction)
