Hearing, touch, taste, and smell generally become more important. Some will say that if an individual experiences low vision that the other senses become better. Others will argue that they simply become more useful. Regardless of where you stand on this issue, there is much to be said about exploring the possibilities of the remaining senses. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Creating Options is a support group which, as the name suggests, looks at all possible options. This group meets the third Wednesday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon.
