Abstract

Residential adjustment-to-blindness training programs frequently include classes in personal and home management. These can be offered as one combined class or separated into two classes. Either way, there is substantial room for exchange and overlap. Personal and home management classes work in synergy with the residential apartment experience. Major themes in personal and home management classes are introduced, and there remains much room for future literature in this subject area of adjustment-to-blindness training. Like any other subject area, the student’s overall adjustment to blindness is the primary focus, not just the learning of a particular skill.
