This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

Book excerpt: First published in 1998. This book embodies the positive philosophy that children with a visual impairment are entitled to access to the full national curriculum during their school years. In the UK, education placements for pupils and students with special needs range across a continuum from special schools and colleges, with day or residential attendance, to specialist units or individual integration into mainstream provision. Placement results from inter-disciplinary assessment and consultation and requires parental agreement. Lack of sight and measurably impaired vision constitute special needs in educational terms. The writers who have contributed to this major text are teachers and lecturers from both the specialist and mainstream areas of provision and have considerable first-hand experience in teaching pupils and students with a visual impairment.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative case study was to describe and interpret the science identity of the middle school students with visual impairments in the specialized residential school for the blind through the SCI framework and further identify issues in science education for students with visual impairments in such a type of school setting. Data were obtained through student interviews, classroom observations, and teacher interviews. Participants included one eighth-grade student and two seventh-grade students who learned science in the same science class as well as their science teacher. The data collection period was about five weeks, during which, the eighth-grade student primarily learned about relative dating and geologic timeline and the two seventh-grade students primarily learned about sound and weather. The theoretical and analytical framework adopted for the study was the SCI framework created by the researcher. In an attempt to theorize science identity, three theories—self-efficacy, cultural niche, and identities-in-practice—were integrated and formed the SCI framework so as to include the three dimensions of identity—personality, interaction, and social structure—to describe and interpret science identity in a holistic manner. Data presented in this study includes three student cases. Each student’s science identity was described and interpreted through the student’s personal judgments as well as his or her performances in the science class. For each student case, a set of identities were derived through the examination of SCI consistency and inconsistency between the student’s personal judgments of his or her own execution of action and performances in science-related activities in the science class. The study uncovered five issues in science education for the middle school students with visual impairments in the specialized residential school for the blind that were derived from the examination of the three students’ SCI identity. Each issue was identified at the school level, the classroom level, the teacher, or the personal level with proposed solutions.
