KnowledgeCentre

INFORMATION

The operations of the Knowledge Centre via Swedish Association of the Visually Impaired had to close down from December 16, 2002, due to lack of financial support. However, the home page with different kinds of information has now been revived with a new web-address. It will be further reorganized and redesigned gradually.

The e-mail address: orjan.backman@telia.com will cease immediately.

The Knowledge Centre on Rehabilitation of persons with visual impairment is documenting, adapting and disseminating knowledge with reference to rehabilitation of adults and elderly persons with visual impairment.
