El. knyga: When You Can't Believe Your Eyes

"This book was first projected in 2004, when Author Hannah Fairbairn was teaching interpersonal skills at the Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton, Massachusetts. The experiences of her adult students--and her own experience of sight lost--convinced her that everyone losing vision needs access to good information about the process of adjustment to losing sight and practical ways to use assertive speech. When You Can't Believe Your Eyes is intended for anyone going through vision loss, their friends, and families. It will inform readers how to get expert professional help, face the trauma of loss, and navigate the world using speech more than sight. Each of the twelve chapters in the book contain many short sections and bullet-point lists, intended to facilitate access to the right information. It begins where you begin--at the doctor's office or the hospital. Since vision loss takes many forms, there are suggestions for questions you might ask to get a clear diagnosis and the best treatment"--

Fairbairn offers a self-help book for people losing good eyesight, suggesting what they can do when they can no longer recognize faces clearly, read small print, or drive. She covers facing trauma at the hospital and back home; a new life: going through grief, preparing for change; practicing skills and social interactions; going solo; and a satisfying life. Among specific topics are learning to trust yourself, accepting change: retraining your senses and your brain, a home that works for everyone, and a whole person again.
