Vision learning curve
In the learning curve about my daughter’s health, I did a google search on “vison stimulation” and found this article written by a freelance writer with “low vision” herself. As we begin this journey of discovery about Isa’s visual capacity, this quote stood out to me:
“If’ and ‘how much’ she sees is completely beyond her control and therefore never the subject of praise by us. Although it is sometimes difficult for us sighted people, we try to avoid conveying to her a sense of excitement when she appears to see something we thought she could not see. And, of course, we try to never convey any disappointment when it is clear she cannot see something. What we call “vision stimulation” should only be “play” to her and thus fun, relaxed and enjoyable for all of us.”
