Signs of visual impairment

25 % of the people with a cognitive disability have impaired vision. Visual impairment is harder to direct in people who do not read or look at pictures. People with a cognitive disabiblity are often unable to tell others that they have poor sight, or may even be unaware of it themsleves. Therefore the visual impairment is often not recognized. In this film we show four people in everyday situations whose behaviour clearly indicates visual impairment.

Aimed at: Professionals and others involved with people with a cognitive disability.
