[Social-Sciences-List] Psychology

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Mike,
I'm the director of research at the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB)
and I have a doctorate in social psychology. You can read about our past
research by visiting
www.afb.org/research
I have done some research in the past on the psychological impacts of
stereotyping on blind people, and on resilience for people with physical
disabilities.
BTW I am also blind since birth.
Feel free to write me off list at
arielle71 at gmail.com
if you have more specific questions.
Best, Arielle
