Leder: Rette...

About the role

In this issue of Øjensynligt, we focus on the challenges that people with visual impairments face when seeking employment. Their job search is characterized by barriers both internally and externally, and research shows that the lack of knowledge among all involved parties is the root cause.

Responsibilities

Even though parents of children and young people with visual impairments do not need to attend job interviews or their workplace, we play an important role. Believing in one's ability to succeed grows from experiences of success that teach children and young people to recognize and overcome challenges and see their strengths. This is an essential ingredient in building self-confidence and a human and professional CV. For example, learning to find your way around school independently, using assistive devices during lessons, trying out abilities at home, selling flowers from the garden, or participating in internships.
