Abstract

This article describes the results of a Needs Assessment Questionnaire mailed to professionals, paraprofessionals, and parents in New York State who were involved in the education of visually impaired and blind children. The information obtained was used to plan a conference on Educational Issues of Students with Visual Impairments that would be of interest not only to most people who attended but to various subgroups divided according to geographic location, type of position, type of program, educational background, teacher certification, and years of experience in the field. Respondents were presented with a list of 33 topics and asked to grade each one as follows: (1) high priority, (2) important, (3) low priority, or (4) not interested. The ten topics selected as the highest priorities by all respondents (N = 207) and by different subgroups are discussed.
