ISSUES FACING PERSONS WHO ARE BLIND, COPING WITH THE HOLIDAYS

Have you ever felt depressed around the Christmas holiday season or any other holiday period? Did you lose all or most of your vision growing up? Did you lose all or most of your vision after becoming an adult?

What seemed to be the most difficult change you faced? Did you enjoy holidays when you had vision? Were you able to resign yourself to the fact that the holidays were going to be different because you lost all or most of your vision?

Did your families treat you different after your vision loss? Do your families seem to treat you different compared to the rest of your sighted family? Have your families and friends treated you in a different manner when it comes to shopping for the Christmas holidays?

These questions along with other aspects of persons living with vision loss will be discussed on Sunday, December 11, 2011 from 6 – 7 p.m., Pacific Standard Time and other times around the world listed below. Join me, Ken Metz, as we discuss the effects of vision loss during this major Christmas holiday season and share your thoughts and experiences on Accessible World (accessibleworld.org) in the Accessible World Classroom.
