Independence

Observe if the person can use vision to do some or all the things that other people do without special help. How is hearing and touch used to help? At home, do they look after all their own things? Can they take care of personal hygiene? Do they take part in all family activities?

At school, are they aware of what other people are doing so that they can join in? Can they use the same materials as the other children do?

At work, can they do all the jobs people are expected to do? Does poor vision affect the ability to complete jobs?

Can they join in games and entertainment activities?
