This article reports the findings of a nationwide survey of rehabilitation teachers and orientation and mobility instructors, designed to identify their interprofessional perceptions. The Interprofessional Perceptions Scale (IPS) was used to determine perceptions relating to the general areas of mutual respect, relative roles, professional competence, and professional status. Subjects in each group reported a generally positive attitude toward the other group of professionals. However, issues relating to professional role and professional status appear to cause some difficulty between the groups. Suggestions for increasing teamwork efficiency are presented.
