Life Goals in Vision Rehabilitation: Are They Addressed and How?
Cimarolli, Verena R.; Boerner, Kathrin; Wang, Shu-wen
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v100 n6 p343-352 Jun 2006
This study explored if and how vision rehabilitation services address important life goals of young and middle-aged adults who are visually impaired. It found that services that teach functional skills and offer psychosocial therapeutic-type services were instrumental in addressing life goals and that independence-related goals were most often addressed, but leisure-related goals were least often addressed.
