If you are blind or have a family member or friend who is blind, this book is for you. If you are losing your sight or know someone who is, this book is for you. If you are a teacher, a social worker, a counselor, a librarian, or a minister, this book is for you.

It is meant to provide information about where to get things and how to learn new techniques. Even more important, it is meant to instill confidence and allay fear.

Contrary to popular belief, the real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misunderstanding and misconceptions which exist. It is no longer theory but fact that with reasonable training and opportunity the average blind person can compete on terms of equality with the average sighted person similarly situated. This book is a manual and a how to guide not only for the blind but also for those losing sight and for the members of their families. It is meant for senior citizens, for young adults, and for those in between. It is also meant for parents of blind children and for professionals in the field.

It proclaims that loss of sight need not be a tragedy but that it can be and probably will unless correct information is available. The simple statement that it is respectable to be blind is our thesis, and that thesis (though un dramatic) is revolutionary. It points the way to new hope and unexpected opportunity for those who are blind or are losing their sight. So read on, and contact us if you need our help.
