Description
It is widely agreed that unemployment and underemployment are major problems for adults who are visually impaired (that is, those who are blind or have low vision; Capella-McDonnall, 2005; Crudden, Sansing, & Butler, 2005; Leonard, 2000; Leonard & D'Allura, 2000; Loy, 2008; McDonnall & Crudden, 2009; Moore & LeJeune, 2008; Moore, Wolffe, & McDonnall, 2010; Truax, 2008). The literature is also replete with evidence that the transition from high school or college to work can be a complicated and frustrating experience for youths and adults who are visually impaired (McDonnall & Crudden, 2009). Work is an essential part of the lives of most adults, since holding a job provides the means to support oneself and one's family; to engage in a regular, predictable routine; and to experience satisfaction with work and self-esteem. Many individuals who are visually impaired have experienced successful and lucrative careers in the music industry as performing artists. However, little can be found in the literature on training programs that prepare individuals who are visually impaired for careers in the music production industry. This article summarizes a contemporary training program--the "Better Chance" music production program at the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired (hereafter Miami Lighthouse), now in its fourth year--for persons who are visually impaired that was developed and implemented to enable clients with musical talent to acquire marketable skills that lead to employment and independence.
