Abstract
This descriptive study explored the situation and media needs of 34 audiovisual and blind schools performed during July and September 2018 by mailing the survey and telephone interviewed in case the information is not sent back in time. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage and content grouping.
There were responses from 20 audiovisual schools (95.2 percent), 11 blind schools (84.6 percent). Audiovisual schools use the most dental model (70.0 percent of the total school population) and wanted multimedia media the most (85.0 percent). Blind schools used braille media the most (81.8 percent) and 81.8 percent wanted embossed picture book and dental model the most.
