First steps with a visually impaired person

Blindness and low vision lead to a set of consequences in everyday life and
require various adaptations so that visual impaired persons grow in a secure,
rich and appropriate environment. This brochure, realized by field
professionals from the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind specialized in the
support of visually impaired persons, should be considered as a toolbox
offering the basis for the first steps with a visually impaired person.
Theoretical and practical elements are addressed throughout the reading in
order to help professionals who care for these persons in daily reality from
an educational point of view as well as on rehabilitation and academic skills.
This book is English translation from an initial French version.
