[Faith-talk] developmental delay among the blind

[Debby Phillips]

>From the time I was very small, I was taught to look in people's 
direction when they talked, to reach out and shake hands, things 
like that.  Plus I grew up with brothers and I had to be rough 
and tumble to get along with them.  Plus I tried and still try to 
be observant.  I am blind from birth, too.  A lot of my life I 
have been mainly with sighted folks.  But in the last couple 
years, it's been more with blind folks.  I think that perhaps we 
can't really generalize about blind from birth versus becoming 
blind later on.  It really depends on so many factors.
