[CT-NFB] The effect of vision loss and partners

[Justin Salisbury]

Hi everyone,

Dr. Vernon Humphrey, President of the National Association of Blind Veterans, actually wrote his dissertation on this topic. His PhD is in Communications, and it’s all about how the communications between partners change when one of them acquires a disability, perhaps specifically blindness.

Stay well,

Justin

“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.”

Deb,
Thanks for sharing this one.  A couple's dynamic  changes when one partner undergoes a  major life change.
Whether it is  a sensory loss, functional loss or major change due to accident or illness,  couples need to re negotiate their  roles.
