[NABS-L] Do you Disclose Vision to College Roomates?

[Roanna Bacchus]

Hi Nic thanks for your message. I would definitely disclose your visual impairment to your roommates. Show them some of the equipment that you use to accomplish certain tasks. Keep in mind that most of the general public including your roommates will have questions. Answer them as honestly as possible.
