When You Can’t Believe Your Eyes: Vision Loss and Personal Recovery
By Alicia Waters | March 10, 2021
New Book by Hannah Fairbairn, Winner of Outstanding Service Award 2020, Bay State Council of the Blind.
When You Can’t Believe Your Eyes: Vision Loss and Personal Recovery (DBC 11619)
Hannah taught personal management at the Carroll Center for the Blind for 18 years and developed a course called “Interpersonal Skills” for adults, ”People Talk” for transition teens, working on ways to manage interactions without visual cues.
The book takes readers through the phases of recovery after vision loss and emphasizes the need for as much training as possible. Speaking up in a firm, positive and specific way – self-advocacy – is a major theme. This is an essential skill for all adults including young people leaving home and especially for older consumers.
