Rehabilitation Workers<br />
Rehabilitation is a process that aims to help a<br />
blind or partially sighted person to achieve the<br />
best possible level of independence.<br />
Rehabilitation Workers for blind and partially<br />
sighted people are employed by local social<br />
services departments. They assess the individual<br />
needs of each blind or partially sighted person<br />
and can provide the following services.<br />
• Explanation of the person’s visual condition<br />
• If appropriate, assistance in the process of<br />
Registration as Blind or Partially sighted and<br />
help to obtain the associated concessions.<br />
• Advice about daily living activities, mobility,<br />
communication (reading, writing, telephone and<br />
computer), recreational and social activities.<br />
• Advice about useful services such as talking<br />
books/newspapers or Community Transport<br />
Schemes.
