Class offered helping blind By Neva Lindell "Blind people are people first and blind second," said James Nyrnan, Director of the Neb raska Services for the Visually Impaired. He said he thought nearly 3,500-4,000 Nebraskans are legally blind with many more visually impaired. This summer Dr. Lois Schwab, associate professor of human development and the family of UN L, will instruct a graduate level workshop which focuses on methods of easy travel in the home, and shopping, meal preparation, child care and other home management skills. Nyman saidthat the main . function of the agency for the visually impaired is to provide training to get blind people into the regular ov modified labor, market. added that they 4 also--help visually -impaired people to live independently. "Safety for the blind is a matter of high importance," said Dr. Schwab. She said that tech niques for helping teach the blind adapt to home situations are just now being developed. Observing blind mothers provided information for use in the UN-L class. Dr. Schwab recently returned from a trip to Denver where she interviewed several blind mothers about their methods of infant care. She said some of the insights she gained included learning that while carrying their babies blind mothers slowly slide their feet across the floor, so they don't trip and fall on out-of-place toys. Also, the baby is held close to the body so the head is protected from unseen dangers. Dr. Schwab and her staff first interviewed 10 blind women to determine their course of study, and then filmed and interviewed another 16 women in the actual study. The women interviewed were selected from lists of the State ftphahilitaf inn Ag?nC!C! !.1 Denver, Des Moines and Kansas City. They hope to film four more blind mothers, she said, adding that to her knowledge, there are no other studies similar to the one conducted by UN L. In addition to the class, Dr. Schwab said she intends to make cassettes, possibly films, and write article;, about her research which could be used by the blind and their friends and relatives. The College of Home Economics plans to work with State Rehabilitation Agencies and Extension groups so that more people can have access to the. materials. Students from Mississippi, Puerto Rico, Georgia, Mass achussetts, Wisconsin, and North Dakota have enrolled in t.ie workshop. page 2 summer ncbraskan tuesday, june 11, 1974
