[sasi] INTRODUCTION

[Cheryl Osborn]

Hi Cindy,

I spent my younger years in several Southern California cities.  

When I used to work with vision/hearing impaired people, I would often use a laptop computer equipped with speech/Braille/screen enlargement software to communicate with them.

Hi Cheryl,

My name is Cindy Flerman from Los Angeles.  I am new to this group too, and we have many of the same physical conditions, I am also a dog guide user.

Please feel free to write privately.

Also looking for tips from those of you whose hearing is declining on communicating with those who are visually impaired and who do not know braille. I can use an assisted listening device in this case, or ask the person to repeat slowly, eliminating background noise; any other ideas would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Cindy Flerman

  Hi to all:

  My name is Cheryl and I have just joined this list.  I am looking forward to corresponding with you all.  

  I am blind, but have a little bit of vision in one eye.  I have difficulty hearing unless someone speaks very clearly and a little louder than is normal.  Also, I have degenerative disk disease which affects my physical abilities.  I am retired and have been living in central Mexico for almost 5 years.  I have a guide dog named Xena whom I have had for almost a year.  Knitting, reading, and cooking are my passtimes..  Oh yes, I also spend a lot of my time using my computer.
