Consumers' Perspectives on Effective Orientation and Mobility Services for Diabetic Adults Who Are Visually Impaired
Griffin-Shirley, Nora; Kelley, Pat; Matlock, Dwayne; Page, Anita
RE:view: Rehabilitation Education for Blindness and Visual Impairment, v38 n2 p86-96 Sum 2006
The authors interviewed and videotaped diabetic adults with visual impairments about their perceptions of orientation and mobility (O&M) services that they had received. The visual impairments of these middle-aged adults ranged from totally blind to low vision. The interview questions focused on demographic information about the interviewees, the effect on their lives of having diabetes and a visual impairment. The type of O&M services and tools they received and used, and the effectiveness of the teaching strategies used by their O&M specialists. The interviewers also asked what services adults with diabetes and a visual impairment would need in addition to O&M and what information the adults would like the O&M specialists to know when proving O&M training to these consumers.
