Practice Perspectives

Many respondents to the recent JVIB readers' survey asked for more information to guide them in their work with people who are blind or visually impaired. In direct response to those readers, JVIB has initiated a new section entitled Practice Perspectives in 2009. Directed by the journal's new associate editor for practice, Dr. Jane N. Erin of the University of Arizona, the new column spotlights the knowledge and experiences of professionals who work in a variety of settings with people who are visually impaired. The emphasis of this feature is on strategies and approaches that have worked well for others, and practicing professionals will have the opportunity to read and share information on the way in which they and other professionals are approaching the same issues, situations, and challenges they experience on a daily basis. The concept for Dr. Jane Erin's new Practice Perspectives column was described to readers in an introductory essay that appeared in the November 2008 issue of JVIB. As each new Practice Perspectives column is available, it will be included on this page.
