Abstract

This article describes several situations in which sighted people behave inappropriately toward blind individuals: assuming they necessarily have other disabilities, dealing with sighted companions instead of directly with the blind person, failing to perform simple helpful acts, insisting on the blind person accepting unwanted assistance, and so on. The study looks at how blind people felt in these situations and how they responded, and reports suggestions on how sighted individuals could act so as to respect and encourage feelings of self-reliance in blind people.
