Information for and by Blind Persons in Rural Asia.

Miles, M.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v84 n6 p262-65 Jun 1990

The concept of information-based rehabilitation has emerged from implementation of information and communication strategies with rural Asian blind persons. Radio broadcast of mobility skill instruction is considered as a medium for mass dissemination of information to blind persons. Information derived from the experiences of blind people should be used in such communications. (JDD)
