“…Wilkin (1987) observes that a person with an impairment may recognize such a need, but society fails to do so. A common experience of people who are legally blind but do not have visible cues such as a cane or guide dog is that when they ask for directions or help reading street signs or bus numbers, they may be refused on the grounds that they are "not blind" (Freeman et al, 1991), In addition, they may be given instructions as though they were fully sighted:…”

“…Perhaps this is because of the perceived stigma attached to being blind. Previous research has also noted that many people who are legally blind but can pass for sighted elect to do so (Freeman et al 1991).

The authors explore how consumers with a variety of visual impairments liandle day-to-day interactions with service providers, products, and services. Interviews with 21 people with visual impainnerits reveal that there are considerable individual differences in adaptation strategies, including the degree of independence desired and achieved. Interview themes are explicated by means of a conceptual model of the contexts and interplay of dependence and independence in the lives of people with visual impairments. The model suggests that independence and dependence are not mere opposites on a single dimension: rather, they are domain-specific and complex and are determined by both environmental factors and personal characteristics. It further suggests that some forms of dependency may be as adaptive for many people as is the striving for independence by others. The authors conclude with a discussion of implications for the Americans with Disabilities Act and marketing practice as well as the larger area of consumer vulnerability.
