Reading and Writing Media and Methods Used and Preferred by a Sample of Visually Impaired Adults

This Paper investigates the reading and writing media and methods used and preferred by visually impaired adult students at the RNIB's Manor House Employment Rehabilitation Centre, Torquay. Prior to their courses, a high proportion of participants had relied on standard print and handwriting ill suited to their real needs. In most cases, the reading and writing strategies of participants were revolutionised at the Centre which introduced them to a wide range of specialised skills and equipment. Many participants reverted to standard ways of reading and writing after their courses, sometimes through force of circumstances. However, the Centre had a lasting effect on most students.
