Course Outline

This course is designed for anyone in a work or social capacity who has the potential to come into contact with people who are visually impaired whilst also being a valuable first step for people hoping to work supporting and rehabilitating people with a visual impairment..

The programme will equip the reader with awareness skills that, when applied, will reduce the barriers arising from the communication difficulties between people who are sighted and visually impaired.

The programme has been organised to lead the reader through the terminology used to describe people with a visual impairment, strategies that will minimise communication difficulties, and explores the various assistive devices, rehabilitation professionals, legislation and support organisations. It presents each topic as clearly and succinctly as possible, developing the reader’s awareness without sacrificing the level of information given and incorporates activities that aim to encourage reflection as well as to assess learning.
