On "Passing" through Adolescence
In: Journal of visual impairment & blindness: JVIB, Band 91, Heft 3, S. 309-314

In this article, the author describes experiences that demonstrate that the benefits that adolescents with visual impairments gain from "passing" are won at a high price. Those who work with young people with visual impairments are encouraged to seek creative ways to help them find a comfortable balance between taking excessive risks and allowing visual impairment or blindness to be an unsurmountable barrier to the transition to a healthy and productive adulthood.
