Abstract
A needs assessment was conducted to measure perceived unmet needs of the blind population of Massachusetts. Some 1,050 client interviews were conducted, using a sample stratified by age and region. The results indicated that the highest needs were for instruments specifically designed for the blind, such as low vision devices and the Optacon; transportation services, especially public transit and volunteer drivers; recreation services; training in daily living procedures; and medical health care. Very little need was expressed for personal or family counseling services, and there was relatively little need for housing services.
