Abstract

The percentage of blind and visually impaired (VI) adults of working age who are gainfully employed is approximately 33%. The confluence of two factors, the changing nature of the world of work and developments in microcomputer technology, offer the potential of greatly reducing the magnitude of this problem. In the information age a strong majority of jobs can be classified as information processing jobs. Given suitable adaptations, the blind and VI can perform such jobs using microcomputers.
