    Blind How Basics
     
    Blind How (https://BlindHow.net) is
    produced by Gary Crow, Ph.D. who has been blind since birth and has extensive
    experience in mental health and child welfare administration, has spoken and trained
    internationally, and has written numerous articles, books for adults and
    children, and training guides. Most significantly, Gary knows how to succeed
    without being able to see and values the chance to share his experience and
    insights with you.
     
    The
    Social Context
     
    Why might Blind
    How … The Basics interest you?
     
    • You
    can't see and are looking for some tips and suggestions for how to do what you
    want to do.
     
    • You
    spend time with someone who can't see and want some tips and suggestions for
    how to be more helpful.
     
    • You
    are curious about how people who can't see are able to do what they do.
     
    • You
    want to know more about what people who can't see can do to succeed in a world
    where most everyone else can see.
     
    • You
    want to start with the basics, tips for folks who don't know much of anything
    about how to live a full life without being able to see.
     
    • You
    want to expand your understanding gradually to include more opportunities and
    options for doing whatever you hope to do, when you can't see.
     
    If I
    tell you that I am blind, what comes to mind? Now if I simply tell you that I
    can't see, how does the picture in your mind's eye change? Likely the change is
    significant.
     
    The
    point is that telling someone that I'm blind seems to bring to mind a mixed bag
    of ideas and emotions about what that means in general and about me
    specifically.

  • Blind How … Expanding Skills
    It’s time for some serious tech. The skills I’ve discussed so far on Blind How are mostly basic. So what does basic mean?

  • Lies and Damn Lies
    Do you recall those true/false tests in school? Bad news. School may be over but those test are with us every day. Much of what we hear or read is itself another one of those true/false tests. Is it true or is it just another lie or maybe even one of those damn lies?

  • Just Shut Up and Sit Down
    Someone who I don't recall said that smart people know what to say and when to say it. But a wise person knows what to say and when not to say it. Sometimes the better part of wisdom is to just shut up and sit down.

  • Fools and Damn Fools
    There are the regular fools among us. They neither know better nor do better. We tend to give those folks a pass, since they have no control over just how stupid they are at times. And there are the rest of us who don't have the excuse of being standard fools. We are just damn fools, yes all of us. We do our foolishness despite knowing better. We just don't do better. This is not a permanent condition unless we extend our foolishness beyond five minutes a day. Gary has the skinny on this universal fact of life.
