Is Blindness a Handicap? |

| Abstract: | Michael J. Tobin, Professor of Special Education at The University of Birmingham, argues that the handicapping effects of blindness are specific to certain educational and social contexts. These situations can be identified: the most substantive difficulties being the availability of convergent and complementary information through the various sensory channels, and the depressed speeds of information processing. |
