Historical information

In order to expand the understanding of the general public, Vision Works - a division of RBS - produced this CD designed to offer sighted users the experiences that people had when undertaking a sighted guide course and when working with blind or vision impaired colleagues.

"The information contained in this module will enable you to assist people who are blind and vision impaired whether they be customers, friends, relatives or anyone else you may come in contact with.
This interactive educational package encourages users to work at their own pace to learn practical communication techniques; methods of providing effective customer service; and ways of developing the skills needed to safely guide a person who is blind or vision impaired.
It also includes a game based on sighted guide techniques and evaluation questions designed for in-house training.
This CD has been designed, based on the work of professional service providers at Royal Blind Society, a major blindness agency in Australia."
