<DIV>I wanted to share some thoughts...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have 2 boys with low vision. My oldest started learning braille in 3rd grade when his vision was 20/200. He did learn braille visually and then without looking. I've learned that when partially sighted children has some useful vision, TVIs tend to take two very opposing approaches.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One will say these children should learn to use their remaining vision and then compensate using non-visual techniques. Others will use sleepshades to teach the children not to rely on their low vision at all. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With my oldest son, I was very hung up on the number of his visual acuity. But it's just a number. It doesn't in any way describe how well your child functions. I'm glad Matthew started braille at age 9 though, b/c he had problems functioning with his remaining vision.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Josh, on the other hand, is in 3rd grade and has a visual acuity of 20/220. I am approaching his IEP differently though. He functions perfectly. Not one sign of trouble. He smacks baseball out of the park, reads newspaper print without the slightest bit of difficulty, etc. I decided to hold off on his services and look at how he functions, not just his visual acuity number.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just remember that visual acuity is a number. It's not very useful in most ways, except by the government when deciding when to declare someone "legally blind".</DIV>
