Findings, methods and sources

Healthcare artResearch gapContext / synthesis

Finding. The healthcare scoping review found a gap in evaluated receptive-art experiences for people with visual impairment. A separate perspectives paper addresses accessibility.

Limitation. Absence of outcome studies in a review is not absence of accessible practice. Touch-based access requires a suitable work and setting.
