About us:

The Institute for blind and visually impaired children and adults in Luxembourg (Institut pour Déficients Visuels) has two main missions:

1. Supporting children and young people in elementary and secondary school as well as at university.

  • Age of students: 3 years to end of formal education
  • Impairment: visually impaired children and also children with specific complex educational needs
  • The IDV does not have its own class rooms. All the students are attending regular school or schools for children with complex educational needs. The itinerant special educational assistants are implementing all the measures necessary to make education in mainstream schools possible
    Special training at home, in the community or in our Institute
