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.
