2015
Book
"It's impossible to predict all the ways that being blind will affect a person's life. From relearning things like reading and moving around, to the emotional impact of not being able to see, blindness and vision impairments present people with a whole new set of difficult challenges. In this book, as you read the story of Kyle's vision impairment, you'll learn about many of the disorders and injuries that can cause blindness and impaired vision. You'll also find out about the techniques and services used to treat and deal with blindness, including guide animals, white canes, Braille, and programs such as special summer camps."--Back cover.
