An Environmental Sensing, Selection, Evaluation and Training System for the Blind.

Weisgerber, Robert A.

The paper reports on a study aimed at developing: (1) a compendium of environmental sensing skills and behaviors, (2) a set of selection procedures and performance trials for matching blind candidates with electronic travel aids, (3) a standard evaluation of pre- and post-training performance, and (4) training guidelines. The materials are noted to comprise the ESSETS (Environmental Sensing, Selection, Evaluation, and Training System) package. (Author/SBH)
