Con la intención de fomentar la cultura científica entre alumnos con discapacidad visual, el Seminario de Ciencias Experimentales de la ONCE ha organizado un Campus Científico de Geología junto al Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra y Medio Ambiente de la Universidad de Alicante. El programa de actividades ha recogido experiencias de distintas disciplinas de la Geología, como la Paleontología, Micropaleontología, Sismología, Hidrogeología y Mineralogía. Se ha ofrecido al alumnado la oportunidad de experimentar el trabajo del geólogo mediante el estudio de campo y el trabajo en laboratorios con una metodología personalizada, activa y utilizando recursos accesibles.
Objectives: To assess the short-term effectiveness of a mindfulness training programme geared to people with severe (and progressive) visual impairment based on adjustment-related variables and mindfulness skills. Method: Study of pre- and post- measurements. Four ONCE rehabilitation service users participated over an 8-week period. Results: Change in the expected direction was observed in all but one of the variables and was significant in all but two, and in all the key variables for adjustment to visual impairment, rehabilitation and core mindfulness skills, especially self-pity. These results were confirmed by the qualitative assessment. Conclusions: This study confirmed that 8-week group mindfulness training can alleviate the suffering of people with severe and progressive visual impairment.
