The purpose of the study was to investigate occupations of individuals with visual impairment and its affected factors. The samples were 1051 over-18-but-less-than-60-year-old certified individuals whose vision is impaired in Taiwan. Both phone interview and personal interview were used as data collection approaches. The results of the study were divided into two parts. One was to deal with the current occupation of visually impaired individuals while the other was to study its relevant factors. Finally suggestions were raised for improving both employment of individuals with visual impairments and future research.
