Visually Impaired Persons

Many visually impaired individuals are found to be too passive or too aggressive in their social interactions. Lack of assertive behavior is related to the concept of learned helplessness. Components of assertive behavior are described with suggestions for enabling the visually impaired person to develop these skills. The underlying concepts of assertion training are explained along with specific techniques to be utilized in the school or rehabilitative setting. With a structured intervention resulting in improved assertiveness skills, blind or partially sighted individuals can increase their effectiveness in communicating with others and can feel more in control of their lives.

The following study presents an overview of career development needs of blind and visually impaired individuals and discusses results of a 1983–84 survey of school teachers (grades K, 3, 6, 9 and 12), rehabilitation counselors, management staff of rehabilitation agencies and agency administrators that assessed career development needs of severely visually impaired persons and resources available to meet those needs. Individuals surveyed felt that their students or clients need greater accessibility to career development tasks, experiences, and resources, and that none of the resources listed in the survey are readily accessible now, and many are inaccessible. Four basic conclusions are discussed.
