It also found that some participants were actively seeking work, some were resigned to their unemployment, and others were looking for work but losing hope. Thus, policies must address both the barriers to employment and the specific needs of each group of unemployed people with visual impairments. Orientation and MobilityAnnemeike M. Reimer, Bouwein C. M. Smits-Engelsman, and Marieke Siemonsma-Boom Abstract: This article describes the development of the Test for Manual Dexterity in Visually Impaired Children. The test was used to chart the manual skills of children with visual impairments (those who were blind or had low vision) and a control group of sighted children in the Netherlands and to compare the development of children who were blind or had low vision.
