Perspectives of Parents of Children Who Are Visually Impaired: Implications for the Field.

Leyser, Yona; Hienze, Toni

RE:view, v33 n1 p37-48 Spr 2001

A study involving 130 parents of children with visual impairments found parents were generally supportive of mainstreaming, but many also identified a number of risks and problems with it. Their child's social isolation concerned parents, along with the general education teacher's lack of knowledge and experience with visual impairments. (Contains references.) (CR)
