The Case Study Approach in an Agency for the Blind

Abstract

□ The three case situations presented above all deal with the newly blinded person who is experiencing an agonizing reaction to his recent loss. In two of these cases, the loss was gradual and accommodation was attempted for as long as possible before seeking help from an agency for the blind. In each of the cases, contact with the agency was of recent origin. Had it not been for the final loss of vision, there is a real question of whether or not these individuals would have sought help from an agency for the blind instead of continuing to struggle along on their own.
