Abstract

In 2007 a large scale research was done in Israel, in order to evaluate the quality of life of included students with visual impairments and blindness. The study focused on students' reports, their homeroom teachers’ evaluation of their students' status, in relation to the school environment, in terms of school climate and staff attitude towards inclusion. The present paper expands on the methodological issues that underlined the investigation.

Key words: quality of life research, visual impairments, methodological issues, humanistic orientation.
