Where can I find specially adapted sporting equipment for children with Vision Impairment?
Before you buy expensive adapted kit, look at making adaptions to existing kit that you can do yourself.
Things like adding sound putting rice or bells into a ball, making the equipment high contrast by painting or adding tape, using tactile tape on the gym floor to mark out areas, adding tactile bumps or notches to equipment, etc.
If you can’t make adaptions and need to buy specialist equipment, it’s probably best to speak to a club or association related to the sport you want the equipment for, so they can recommend the best equipment.
