Is America Going Blind in the 21st Century?
New Guidebook Leads the Visually Impaired and Others Through a World
Without
Sight

ST. LOUIS - Blind since birth, Fred Olver has devoted his life to
demolishing stereotypes and breaking down barriers, and as a
rehabilitation
teacher, he has taught others facing vision loss to do the same. Now
Olver
presents a comprehensive guide for anyone directly or indirectly
affected by
vision loss in his new book, Dealing With Vision Loss (published by
AuthorHouse).

     Leading readers through the fears and uncertainties of vision
loss,
Olver offers answers and hope for individuals losing their vision,
family
members of those individuals, parents of visually impaired children,
those
who interact with the visually impaired on a regular basis and people
interested in pursuing a degree to work with the visually impaired.
Dealing
With Vision Loss is also a vast resource of practical information,
explaining how to find everything from talking watches to Braille
playing
cards to magnifiers.

     Fueled by aging baby boomers, between 10 and 15 million Americans
will
suffer significant vision loss over the next 30 years, according to
Olver's
research. How will the social services network accommodate this influx,
and
how will these individuals continue to function on their own? Where will
they learn the necessary skills not only to function, but also to cope?

     Dealing With Vision Loss outlines training options for the
visually
impaired, explaining what skills are needed and why, and how and where
those
skills can be acquired. Large print and Braille, talking computer
software,
canes and guide dogs, bill paying, TV watching, newspaper reading and
organizations that support the visually impaired are among the topics
discussed. Parents will learn "absolutely the most important skill,"
according to Olver, that blind children should acquire before entering
the
school system. He also explains the effects public schools and schools
for
the blind can have on a child's development.

Dealing With Vision Loss clears a path to a fulfilling life for those
confronted with the unfamiliar and sometimes overwhelming challenges
associated with vision loss.

Olver received a bachelor's degree in communications and secondary
education
and a master's degree in blind rehabilitation teaching, both from
Western
Michigan University. He hopes Dealing With Vision Loss will be used as a
classroom aid in teaching the philosophy necessary to develop positive
training programs for the visually impaired. He lives with his daughter,
Maggie, in St. Louis.
