The genesis of rehabilitation services has been, in part, a response to the recognition that increasing the quality of life and independence of individuals following trauma, disease or enduring chronic pathology benefits society as a whole, as well as the individual. Human beings also have psychological, social and spiritual belief and value systems alongside personal experience that blend to form each unique individual. The rehabilitation is to improve competence and confidence in the assessment and delivery of appropriate psychological care for clients and their families (1-2). Some society for the Blind and Visually Impaired provides education and training for individuals who are blind and visually impaired in order to enhance their physical, psychological and social rehabilitation, and independence.
