[blparent] Not a Blind Parent, but wondering something.

[Jolynn Page]

Hi,
I have also been wondering about this. What would you do if you were a blind parent with say an autistic child who's communication is not at a level where they can speak to you what they want.

My question is, how do you communicate if you cannot see with someone who is non-verbal? How do you know what they want? Did any of you as parents learn sign language? If so, how did you do it? Furthermore, if it wasn't your child how would you go about doing physical care for an individual if you had no sight? Thank you all! Daniella.
