Abstract | I wanted to understand why high unemployment rates remain for people with blindness and low vision, despite improved technology and changing attitudes of employers. My research revolved around 6 students with blindness and low vision, throughout Queensland, their parents, teachers, advisory teachers. As well as people with lived experience, policy makers and employers. I really wanted to know what were barriers and enablers to participation in learning and preparation for future employability. |
