"This publication surpasses its goal as a parents' guide and can also serve as a reference for professionals.

The content ranges from What is visual impairment? to Medical issues, Your child's development, Daily life, Family life, Nurturing self-esteem, Early intervention, and The years ahead. The information is presented in easy-to-read format with chapters clearly laid out. There is a glossary and reading list for each chapter. There are parent statements at the end of each chapter, which I think would be very helpful, as some statements are positive, some are discouraging, and all are very emotionally laden. I am sure that all parents will relate to some, if not most, of the comments. There is also information on why teaching must be different for these children along with teaching tips.

Although this publication was meant for parents, I found it relevant and useful. Visual impairments have much more of an impact on everyday life than I imagined. The teaching information was very useful. I definitely recommend it to parents and professionals."
-Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, Volume 74, No.56, December 2007
