  I've seen nearly blind people read hard copy with the book or paper next 
to their nose and can read maybe 10 words a minute on a good day.  I think 
this is the place where we should be proactive.  Let's define what 
"partially sighted" means.  I'm not talking driver's licenses, but sight 
skills like reading, sewing and other skills that require sight.  I'm not 
talking about the fact that the blind can use adapted sewing devices, I'm 
talking about sewing on a button using a regular needle and thread.  Judith
