[il-talk] Reference Material for Explaining Functional Definition of Blindness

[Bruce C. Paul]

    Hi Il-talk,

I was trying to think of some ways of getting people/kids to think about limitations they have.  Specifically, how to present problems like writing with your non-dominant hand or writing a text message in a symbolic language like Chinese with a standard numeric keyboard.  The idea being to think of how one could adapt to working a different way, rather than just talking about blindness as a loss of vision.  I'm sure there are some well worn examples in the Federation literature and if anyone has any pointers it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
bcp
