Problem Statement

Limited Support Services in Helping Persons Cope with Loss of Sight

Currently, persons who have lost their sight are generally left on their own to cope with the issues related to blindness.

Solution

Develop and Deliver a Holistic Counselling Service

This service will support persons who have lost their sight to:

• Promote their emotional well-being through counselling; and
• Map out and identify the resources and Assistive Technology (AT) they would need at various life stages with the goal to resume activities and pursue optimal life quality.

Outcomes

Persons with low vision or visual impairment will be able to access counselling services and get assistance in identifying their AT needs and plan for their transition from one life stage to another.
