Inform & Connect, Season 2, Episode 1: AFB Director of Research Dr. L Penny Rosenblum and TVI and Ph.D. Candidate Elizabeth Bolander

Covid-19 has created changes in all our lives in one way or another. Often forcing us to learn new ways to accomplish tasks that felt mundane in February. This has definitely made professionals in the field of visual impairment adapt to how we provide service to our students. Dr. Penny Rosenblum from the American Foundation for the Blind joins the podcast to discuss the Access and Engagement survey and how it is helping us learn the impact of covid-19 on our students, families, and professionals and how we can use this information as a tool to provide better services in the future.  For more information on the Access and Engagement survey visit https://accessengagement.com/

Dr. Penny Rosenblum - Access and Engagement

Paul Edwards

Dr. L. Penny Rosenblum answers questions about two surveys that shed much light on the impact of the pandemic on people who are blind. It seems like an age ago that the pandemic began. It is therefore not surprising if most of us have given little thought to an event that occurred fairly early on. It was a survey that ACB sponsored along with fifteen or so other organizations and companies. Its objective was to gather data on how people with visual impairments were affected by the pandemic. A little later a second survey explored the impact of the pandemic on education. Dr. L. Penny Rosenblum has played a huge part in administering the examination of the data from the surveys and preparing a report that has just been released. Dr, Penny tells us a little about her life as a partially sighted professor and researcher and a lot about the results of the surveys. Among other things the first survey explored transportation, technology, voting, employment, access to medical care and other things. What were its findings? What do they tell us about being blind in a pandemic? What can we learn about changes that must be made in the future?
