Spatial Orientation of People with Visual Impairment

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Spatial orientation and independent mobility comprise one of the area’s most markedly affected by the loss or impairment of visual perception. Independent mobility and the interrelated spatial orientation are a prerequisites for increasing the self-sufficiency of an individual with visual impairment, usually also becoming a significant measure of their self-evaluation. In addition, spatial orientation tends to be perceived as the main indicator of independence and success of a person with visual impairment from the perspective of the majority of society as well as the person with visual impairment him/herself. Our research was based on the question of how the area of spatial orientation and independent mobility is perceived by three groups of participants: persons with visual impairment, professionals working with them, and the lay public. Its purpose was to explore and describe selected aspects of orientation and mobility from the perspective of the actors themselves – i.e. persons with severe visual impairment and the professionals involved. Therefore, over the period of six months, we organisations for adults with visual impairment, school counselling facilities (Special Educational Centres) and schools intended primarily for pupils with visual impairment, to receive answers from service users, pupils well as their instructors. We decided to address the lay public only later, after the after the initial study was completed. Our intention was to perform a primary probe into the chosen field of interest and identify the interesting aspects suitable for follow-up an applied research.
