ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions of parents who have children with low vision about parent education programs. The 86 parents who have a child with low vision participated in the study and answered about their knowledge about low vision, perceptions about parent education programs. From the study the researcher found that most of the low vision children’s parents didn’t know about sight function and sight effectiveness although most of them knew about low vision itself. Also parents wanted to be educated by professors, professional therapists as well as other professionals depends on the topics of programs. Parents revealed that they needed more practical programs more often than current situations. They also reported that they wanted to learn about rights, transition, and welfare as well as study methods and early educations for their children. Based on that findings, further implications were suggested to improve the quality of parent education programs for various disabilities, especially for low vision.
