Upgrading the Academic and Job Skills of Bund and Visually Impaired Adults in a Public Secondary School

Abstract

Since 1987, 15 blind and visually impaired adults have enrolled in a public secondary school in London, Ontario, to upgrade their academic credentials and to learn new job skills. This article describes these students, the program, and the extent to which the students have been successful and discusses the potential importance of secondary schools for the education of blind and visually impaired adults.
