[wisconsin] Grieving Vision Loss (resources parents and children)

[Amy Snow]

Hello all,



A colleague of mine pulled me aside today and asked if I had any resources
about the grieving process for parents of a child with disabilities
(specifically visual impairment).  She also wanted to know if there was
anything out there for young children to help them accept vision loss and
differences.



Personally, I think how the child accepts vision loss is a direct reflection
of how the parents accept it, but that's just my opinion.  But I wondered
what all of you thought?



She also wanted to know if there was anything out there about how to deal
with a child who insists he/she can see well enough to do things, but
cannot.



My colleague is mainly looking for articles, books, and other information to
pass on to parents and include in a resource file.  Any help you can give
would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks,
Amy
