Visual Impairment and Work (eBook, ePUB)

Experiences of Visually Impaired People

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book traces the development of paid work for visually impaired people in the UK from the 18th century to the present day. By analysing fifty in-depth face-to-face interviews, it gives a voice to visually impaired people to talk about their working lives and documents the history of employment from their experience. The themes that emerge will help to inform present day policy and practice within a context of high unemployment amongst visually impaired people of working age. It is part of a growing literature which gives voice to disabled people about their own lives and which adds to the growing academic discipline of disability studies and the empowerment of disabled people.
