Poison prevention for the visually impared

Poison prevention for the visually impaired is an area that has been neglected far too long. One reason for this is possibly a lack of information on this segment of the population. The information gained through this study indicates that the same techniques used by those with normal sight can be used by the visually impaired. Poison prevention programs, utilizing films and other visual aids and handout materials require only minor adaptations to meet their special needs. With thoughtful planning, visually impaired adults and children can be included in preventing accidental poisonings.
