A Guide to Working with People with a Visual Impairment

BID, in partnership with the Sensory Advice Resource Centre (SARC) in Milton Keynes, have developed a new Guide to Working with People with a Visual Impairment. This was made possible with funding from the Big Lottery Fund. Copies are available in PDF and Microsoft Word. Audio copies are also available to download from this section of the website.
