| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Individuals who have lost their vision due to accident or illness are placed in a difficult psychological situation. This study focuses on comprehensive support system in local communities. The study's results suggest the following aspects:(1) Based on the results of surveys in the UK,which are both pioneers in this field,this study found that support systems in those countries should be considered in Japan in terms of such aspects as partnering with local social resourses and multidisciplinary pertnerships. (2) In testing assistance methods as part of this study,a certain measure of results were seen in cases that would have been difficult to resolve by traditional methods.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年整備がすすむ地域包括ケアシステムにおいて視覚障害者支援は十分機能しているとは言い難い。本研究では視覚障害者を支援する既存の社会資源である眼科医療機関、視覚リハビリテーション施設、視覚特別支援学校、就労支援機関、視覚障害者支援事業所等の効果的な連携について実証的に検討し、地域生活に密着した包括的な支援システムモデルを提案することで各地域における支援システム構築に向けた示唆となることが期待される。
