Many types of vision loss are invisible—you can’t tell just by looking. Respect the cane. Trust the guide dog. Believe the person.
Not all disabilities are visible.

@swacknificent it's a broad topic and the response depends on the current level of sight and what adaptations are needed. There are tons of podcasts and videos dedicated to the assistive technology.

Usually, the initial assessment and training is best done by the national association providing services for people with low vision. #accessibility #visionimpairment

"Today I saw a parent forbidding their blind child from cooking because she once accidentally spilled salt on the counter."

One of my friends has been blind since he was a teenager. He lives in a house by himself. He is one of the best hobby cooks that I know, knowing all recepies by heart. He even produces his own sausage.--oh, and no, he isn't working as a cook and belongs to a much different profession.

These parents are...

Looking back, habilitation was key to exploring the world as a blind child. Learning to navigate and master personal skills was crucial. Specialist support is essential for each child's unique journey. Grateful for @guidedogs aiding kids to thrive.

Vision-impaired friends, did you know can help you locate items with sound? Use Siri to say 'Find my keys,' and follow the audible beeps to your belongings. It's a game-changer for accessibility!

It is February now, Retinitis Pigmentosa Awareness Month. Usually, every year, I try to make a shot about some struggle that we, people with this disease, face in our daily lives. Anyway, I've posted the full text on IG, but it's too long, so I just loved to share the image here.
The shot is actually a collage between a shot of my eye and some capsules against a mirror (originally, I wanted to make a real reflection of my eye but it was almost impossible).

In , there seems to be a **, which might be historic or another event. Another possibility.
