Psychometric properties of a new intake questionnaire for visually impaired young adults: The Participation and Activity Inventory for Young Adults (PAI-YA).

ABSTRACT:

Background

To be able to identify and monitor personal needs and goals of visually impaired young adults before and during rehabilitation trajectories, the Participation and Activity for Young Adults (PAI-YA) was developed involving young adults (18-25 years) and professionals as stakeholders.
