ISSUES FACING PERSONS WHO ARE BLIND, DECEMBER 11,
2011
Newswire:
Have you ever felt depressed around the Christmas
holiday season or any other holiday period? Did you lose all or most of your
vision growing up? Did you lose all or most of your vision after becoming an
adult?
What seemed to be the most difficult change you faced? Did you
enjoy holidays when you had vision? Were you able to resign yourself to the fact
that the holidays were going to be different because you lost all or most of
your vision?
Did your families treat you different after your vision
loss? Do your families seem to treat you different compared to the rest of your
sighted family? Have your families and friends treated you in a different manner
when it comes to shopping for the Christmas holidays?
These questions
along with other aspects of persons living with vision loss will be discussed on
Sunday, December 11, 2011 from 6 - 7 p.m., Pacific Standard Time and other times
around the world listed below. Join me, Ken Metz, as we discuss the effects of
vision loss during this major Christmas holiday season and share your thoughts
and experiences on Accessible World
(accessibleworld.org) in the Accessible
World Classroom.
If you have suggestions for this program prior to
December 11, please email me at kenme...@gmail.com. Your thoughts are always welcome with high
priority.
On January 8, 2012, we will do our best to get to the promised
program of dealing with numerous aspects of the medical world from hospital
stays to the doctor office visit and everything in between.
