"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"--

Tastend door de tijd Twee eeuwen onderwijs en zorg voor slechtzienden en blinden Tweehonderd jaar geleden werd het (Koninklijk) Instituut voor Onderwijs van Blinden in Amsterdam opgericht. De rechtsopvolger van dit instituut, Visio, zet zich nog altijd in voor mensen met een visuele functiebeperking. Tastend door de tijd beschrijft twee eeuwen onderwijs aan en zorg voor blinde en slechtziende mensen. De doelstelling van die zorg kent een opmerkelijk continuïteit. Vanaf het begin ging het om hulpverlening bij het vinden van een zelfstandig bestaan. Even opmerkelijk is het dat de aangewende middelen daarmee steeds meer in tegenspraak raakten. Het groeiende hulpverleningsapparaat leidde juist tot de institutionele afzondering van een groot deel van de doelgroep. Onder druk van ouders en van slechtziende en blinde volwassenen en door de veranderende inzichten bij professionele hulpverleners kwam na 1980 opnieuw de nadruk te liggen op maatschappelijke integratie en participatie.

"This book offers an unexpected and unprecedented account of blindness and sight. Legally blind since the age of eleven, Georgina Kleege draws on her experiences to offer a detailed testimony of visual impairment - both her own view of the world and the world's view of the blind." "Kleege describes the negative social status of the blind, analyzes stereotypes of the blind that have been perpetuated by movies, and discusses how blindness has been portrayed in literature. She vividly conveys the visual experience of someone with severely impaired sight and explains what she can see and what she cannot (and how her inability to achieve eye contact - in a society that prizes that form of connection - has affected her). Finally she tells of the various ways she reads, and the freedom she felt when she stopped concealing her blindness and acquired skills, such as reading braille, as part of a new, blind identity. Without sentimentality or cliches, Kleege offers us the opportunity to imagine life without sight."--Jacket.
