Description
Recently, I was invited to speak to a gathering of service providers about issues confronting the field of visual impairment and blindness from a consumer's perspective--a perspective that I believe is very different from my own views, even though I am blind myself. Although I am a professional in the field of blindness and visual impairment, I am visually impaired and therefore simultaneously hold the perspective of a professional and that of a consumer. In preparing my remarks, I decided to contrast and compare my observations of the critical issues based on my own point of view as a service provider with my point of view as a blind person. The following views, which are adapted from that speech, are mine, but they also reflect what I have heard from other service providers and blind consumers. I have done no surveys and conducted no research, although I asked the blind professionals working at the American Foundation for the Blind for their points of view. I have based my opinion on my observations and the reactions I have received to the talks I have given over the last 20 years on my views of the critical issues confronting our field. It should be noted that in this discussion of critical issues, I do not make reference to personal issues, such as "service providers never make enough money"; nor will I attempt to represent the views of people who have not yet undergone rehabilitation services, whose critical issues may be very different from the ones identified below.
