Abstract

This study of older visually impaired Nebraskans examined the effects of participation in peer support groups for visually impaired people and rehabilitation training. It found that those who participated in support groups and rehabilitation felt they were successful in coping with their visual loss, were satisfied with their level of activities, and generally had a positive outlook on life.
