Book Description
The purpose of this book is to provide practical information that is directly applicable to the lives of individuals with visual impairments. This book brushes aside abstract talk on the subject and focuses on concrete issues that are common to people who are visually impaired. Throughout the book, I draw on mainly two types of information to give the reader a more holistic view on how to tackle these different issues. The first type of information can be called objective, and consists of portraying a factual snapshot of what sort of information and resources are available for the visually impaired. This includes information on what kind of assistive technology is available, procedures to get accommodations in school, federal aid programs, and more. The second type of information can be called subjective, and consists of providing valuable insight learned from many years of experience with being visually impaired. For example, what accommodations can work best in the classroom, tips for interacting with others, drawbacks associated with certain pieces of technology, and more. These two types of information work together to provide a more nuanced perspective on tackling different issues relating to being visually impaired, and can be a useful guiding hand in the reader's own journey.

Foundations of Low Vision
Author: Anne Lesley CornPublisher: American Foundation for the Blind
ISBN: 089128883X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 984
Book Description
Foundations of Low Vision: Clinical and Functional Perspectives, the ground-breaking text that highlighted the importance of focusing on the functional as well as the clinical implications of low vision, has been completely updated and expanded in this second edition. The revised edition goes even further in its presentation of how best to assess and support both children and adults with low vision and plan programs and services that optimize their functional vision and ability to lead productive and satisfying lives, based on individuals' actual abilities. Part 1, Personal and Professional Perspectives, provides the foundations of this approach, with chapters focused on the anatomy of the eye, medical causes of visual impairment, optics and low vision devices, and clinical low vision services, as well as psychological and social implications of low vision and the history of the field. Part 2 focuses on children and youths, providing detailed treatment of functional vision assessment, instruction, use of low vision devices, orientation and mobility, and assistive technology. Part 3 presents rehabilitation and employment issues for working-age adults and special considerations for older adults.

Visual Impairment and Work
Author: Sally FrenchPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317173740
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
This book traces the development of paid work for visually impaired people in the UK from the 18th century to the present day. It gives a voice to visually impaired people to talk about their working lives and documents the history of employment from their experience, an approach which is severely lacking in the current literature about visual impairment and employment. By analysing fifty in-depth face-to-face interviews with visually impaired people talking about their working lives (featuring those who have worked in traditional jobs such as telephony, physiotherapy and piano tuning, to those who have pursued more unusual occupations and professions), and grouping them according to occupation and framed by documentary, historical research, these stories can be situated in their broader political, economic, ideological and cultural contexts. The themes that emerge will help to inform present day policy and practice within a context of high unemployment amongst visually impaired people of working age. It is part of a growing literature which gives voice to disabled people about their own lives and which adds to the growing academic discipline of disability studies and the empowerment of disabled people.
