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

[Ann Salazar]

If a child thinks they can see good enough to do things, then do they get that from parents or some one else?

  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
