Description
The authors are from the Robert Hollman Foundation (“Consultation and Support for the Development of Visually Impaired Children”) and the University of Padova, Italy. This paper evaluates the Distance Support Program initiated following the lockdown in Italy by the Robert Hollman Foundation. This DSP was designed to offer “custom-made psychological, educational and rehabilitative treatment, which can be partially compared to that already present in the Australian educational field (Cain and Fanshawe, 2019)”. The authors outline the pilot program, and analyse the results of the ‘satisfaction survey’ distributed to the parents and professionals involved. It highlights greater satisfaction from parents (with professionals indicating discomfort in this new approach to service delivery).
