Abstract
This project will assess food safety and nutrition knowledge, barriers to teaching nutrition and food safety, as well as barriers to teaching these topics among the teachers of youth with visual impairments in Ohio and nationally. It will use the results to design in-service training. This project is a first step to improving the quality of life of youth with visual impairments and their ability to self-manage their own health.
