Abstract

A questionnaire to measure the activity level of people with visual handicaps was developed in which separate components of activity are measured: "independence" and "difficulty" in performing various activities, "felt loss" in not performing the activities, and "motivation to learn" the activities. The responses of 129 veterans who completed this questionnaire were analyzed. Attempts were made to determine the reliability and validity of the scales. The questionnaire can be regarded as useful to evaluate both what patients are specifically taught and how that training effects activities not specifically taught.
