People who are in the intermediate to late stage of vision loss may be
considering making the transition from visual to nonvisual practices
in some daily activities. Low vision rehabilitation is designed to
address those challenges, but if professional assistance is
unavailable, the new "Self-Help Guide to Nonvisual Skills" from MD
Support may be a good second option.
The guide features a self evaluation of 21 personal daily living
activities. The evaluation is followed by lessons in how to achieve
each of those activities using senses other than sight through
application of low vision devices, technology, software, and assistive
procedures. The user may want to use the self-evaluation solely for
determining personal needs and discovering options. Sharing the
results, however, with a trained low vision rehabilitation therapist
is highly recommended. Professional support can be invaluable for
putting the options into practice and keeping motivation high.
The guide is free, either on line at
http://www.mdsupport.org/guide.html , or in printable PDF format from
http://www.mdsupport.org/guide.pdf . Both are electronic-reader
friendly and apply the new concept of "invisible assistive text."
Spiral bound hard copies will also be made available at cost for
people who do not have Internet access. For more information, contact
MD Support at director@xxxxxxxxxxxxx .
