The purpose of this study was to explore the implications for improving the educational system and curriculum of riryo by investigating the graduates experiences and opinions from special schools for students with visual impairments. A total of 71 graduates from riryo rehabilitation programs of such special schools in February, 2019, participated in this study, which asked them by phone about their educational experiences and opinions on the directions for improving riryo education at the special schools. Overall, the graduates were satisfied with the riryo rehabilitation programs and thought that the program had much influence on their current jobs. The graduates proposed the following directions for improving riryo rahabilitation programs: (a) the development of riryo rehabilitation curriculum different from the curriculum for high school students; (b) the increase in the number of credit hours for practice-oriented subjects; (c) the expansion of the extended core curricular subjects (i.e., braille, orientation & mobility, daily living skills, and assistive technology) for the riryo rehabilitation program; (d) the production and dissemination of textbooks reflecting the needs of students with low vision; and (e) the wide use of models or devices for practical and concrete instruction in riryo subjects.
