A stratified random sampling was employed to select 144 visually impaired individuals aged 15\u201335 years. Oral health education (OHE) material was developed in Braille and compressed speech. Participants were intervened using OHE material. A self\u2010administered Braille transcribed proforma was used to record participants responses on oral health knowledge and behavior at baseline, 1\u2010week, 1\u2010month, and 3\u2010months followed by clinical examination.
