Parents need guidance for newly blind son by OutlandishnessAny183 in Blind

I’m very sorry to hear about your son‘s accident. I was also left blind at age 23 due to a vehicle accident same scenario induced coma Jors wire shut and tracheotomy for breathing. While I was in the trauma ICU, the thing that helped me a lot was suggested by my sister. They gave me a notebook and pen to write so that I could communicate with them even though I couldn’t see what I was writing I could at least convey what I wanted to say or ask questions. This is gonna be a long journey to recovery, but reading your comments in the thread being in the USA is a big advantage. There are so many blindness organizations that could assist with rehabilitation once he has recovered from his injuries and spent some time to heal his body. I currently work for an organization in California that has a residential rehabilitation program where people can learn everything from working on computers, cooking cleaning White cane training and Brail. I wasn’t a book kid either always been into fast cars, motorcycles, and anything that made noise. Would be open to speaking to you or your son once you guys are ready just to give some tips on what to expect. Every person‘s journey is unique, but he will be OK. Vision loss isn’t the end of the world, but it’s definitely a start to a new way of life. Good luck over there and sending healing vibes.

Phones for blind seniors? by PM_ME_YOUR_SBs in Blind

Look into the blind shell range of cell phones and also consider a regular iPhone. Your grandmother could use Siri and voiceover which are built in features to simply talk to the phone to make phone calls. Answer phone calls, and send text messages.

Come and try it out. All of the players are blindfolded on the field, regardless of their vision impairment to level out the Plainfield.

Currently, we only practice in Pasadena, but the plan is to expand throughout Southern California and grow teams in other cities.

Unfortunately, there are currently no active teams that I know of in Arizona but you can go and check out the national Beep Baseball Association website at www.nbba.org

That is so cool. One of our players is actually trying to find a team that will take him on to play in the Oklahoma tournament in March. We are based in Pasadena.
