What do you do when you are told your child is blind? What skills are the most important for a newly-blinded person to learn? What adaptations and technology is available? For many of us, these questions may have obvious answers, but for someone new to blindness, they are a mystery. Fred Olver's new book, Dealing with Vision Loss, is said to answer these questions and many more. Olver, who is blind himself, has a Bachelor of Science in Communication Arts and Secondary Education and a Master of Arts in Blind
Rehabilitation Teaching from Western Michigan University. According to the site's home page, "His life
experience as well as his work as a Rehabilitation Teacher and developing
technology and training for individuals in the use of talking computers and
software, uniquely qualifies him to speak to the many questions about vision
loss." In addition, a large list of resources is included. The book is available in many formats, including print, CD, and EBook. The latter, presented in Adobe PDF, is the best value at $15.95. An MP3 version of the book is also in the works.
