Abstract

Providing culturally competent services to visually impaired persons requires an understanding of the influence of culture on effective assessments and plans of action. This article examines seven cultural values: communication, health beliefs and practices, family structure, attitude toward authority, etiquette, expectations of “helping,” and time orientation. It provides suggestions for meeting cross-cultural challenges through skills similar to those used in the disability field.
