[blindkid] More Hmmmm....

[Richard Holloway]

This may have noting to do with it at all, but I wonder if he is also learning to control where he looks-- that is he might have to look slightly "away" from an object (in relation to conventional vision terms) to see it better (or at all).

I certainly know some adults with things like Stargardt's disease where they have no central vision so if they want to look at a thing, they have to look at the side of it and some of them have been kind enough to explain some of that t me in some detail. Then factor in where he can see vs. what he can reach. Can you find a relationship between where his eyes seem to look and what's going on when?

Whatever is actually happening, I'm really happy to hear of his progress-- I think that's what really matters!

He hopped up out of the chair and is standing centered directly in front of the screen and he is only very slightly to the left of the keyboard. Maybe it's only activities where he must reach out that he prefers doing from the left?
