[2] At the time of independence, there were only two institutions, one for the Hearing Impaired at Lahore and the other for the Blind at Bahawalpur, functioning under the control of Education Department.
Inspectorate of Schools for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind was established under the Education Department during 1962.
It was given status of Deaf, Dumb and Blind Wing, headed by a deputy director during 1968.
The Education Department took over these institutions and initiated various schemes for construction of buildings and to staff them with trained teachers.
Presently, special institutions are functioning at every Tehsil and Town Level.
