With free of charge to blind people?

As stated in the well-known Russian proverb: "Free cheese is only in a mousetrap." In our case, these things mean that the subjects of rehabilitation, which are issued by blind people for free - either poor quality or do not need this particular the visually impaired.
Let me explain my words: every year each such disabled person is issued a so-called individual map of rehabilitation, it is the same - the individual rehabilitation program (the IRP). This program identifies those special items, tools that can facilitate the life of blind, the decision of its domestic problems. These items are also called rehabilitation tiflosredstvami (means for the blind - Per. With LVL.)

Recorder, reed player, computer, talking clock, talking thermometer, instrument for measuring pressure (tonometer), a device for writing in Braille, special paper, a magnifying lens - all - tiflosredstva.
In regional centers, and just in big cities with a population of more than 500000 people listed items are issued on the ground (that is, in specialized stores), in the same small towns, villages, towns special shops often do not, and tiflopribory sent there from the regional centers. This fact only adds to the problems in an already difficult situation with receiving funds rehabilitation. What problems occur most frequently?
1. For example, the ASI said that the man needs a cane. He stands in line at the social insurance fund and waiting for his cane. Goes over a certain time (from one to six months), a blind report that stick to it were sent, you can go and receive. He comes in, receives, and then it appears that it (the stick) inappropriate size. What use to man, whose growth is 1.85 cm, hold the stick, perhaps to get him from the waist up, although you need to stick to the man got out of the chest. It happens, and vice versa - the stick is too long, of course, you can shorten it, but ... it's more trouble. Not simply whether it would be in each locality to produce such items, sell them at a very low price, but that people had the opportunity to choose his cane on the growth and soul?
2. Another example! A man stands in queue for a free ticket to a special resort for people with visual impairment (voucher also relates to the means of rehabilitation). Wants to go blind, let in Gelenzhik in August: the holidays (vacation) as time, and the guardian is not busy, could go with him, but ... Wait, he pozhdet ... here and summer is over, and velvet autumn ... And still no putevochki ! And then, lo and behold, he reported that the permit has appeared, you can go, but, excuse me, December is already in the yard, and the maintainer is busy, and education (work) does not let go. Hence, the poor fellow was left without a well-deserved rest on the sea?
3. The third glaring example! There is tiflosredstvo - flash player. I think you know what it is. For the record books in the flash memory card (in common stick) you need a computer or a special library where these books to blind readers to take off on the flash card. Special libraries with computers and workers who know how to write books on the flash, in our country to count on the fingers, namely four, therefore, the majority of Russians blind "flash" pleasure "is not available. Well, lucky enough to get a PC ... why should they, this is the player? Yes, absolutely do not need you! After all, they are well read books from a computer other than speech synthesizers. It turns out that the Flash player for the blind - the player for anyone. Well would, though the radio was there, at least in mp3 would be on him to write, well, no! With this device you can only listen to a little-known book format, I do not even remember what the format.
4. Want another example? Please! Blind person wants to get a blood pressure monitor or thermometer, talking, of course, comes to the insurance fund, and said to him, saying, dear, we are the instrument generates bed-only, that is paralyzed. The man exclaims: "How can that be! I live alone! Who do I will be looking out there on a thermometer or screen blood pressure monitor!? "" That, my friend, not our problem - meet him in the fund - only, say, bed-outstanding! "
5. The last example! Craves a man without vision, free computer to get dreams about this miracle of technology, stands in line at the notorious fund ... and ... he gets his "precious" computer ... 95-year issue ... or even older! There's a pandora that have nowhere to place, installing him voice (speech program), it is not even attending.
