Download or read book Living with Low Vision and Blindness written by John M. Crandell and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2007 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the findings in the fields of general education and psychology as they relate to vision loss. It is concerned primarily with providing understanding of the many elements that must be considered before a successful rehabilitative and/or an educational program can be developed. This type of understanding is illustrated in the book by examples drawn from experience that the authors have directly observed. Theoretical factors are described that must be considered in the development of a suitable program for a person with specific strengths and weaknesses. Discussions are also included that relate to the meaning and implications of self-concept and self-esteem in the overall adjustment of individuals with vision loss. Also, psychological and sociological theories are evaluated of 'the blind' as described in writings such as Kim's, The Community of the Blind, and Scott's, The Making of a Blind Man, in terms of their relevance of life adjustment. Weaknesses are identified in the research bases in this field and propose specific research activities that could help alleviate problems. Another focus is on provision of explanations of the origin, development, influence, and modification of public attitudes toward blindness and the influence of these attitudes on the adjustment of individuals with blindness. It will be of interest not only to educators and rehabilitation specialists in the field of work for the blind, but also to psychologists, social workers, educators, and therapists.

Download or read book There Plant Eyes written by M. Leona Godin and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2021 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A probing, witty, and deeply insightful history of blindness--in Western culture and literature, and in the author's own experience--that ranges from Homer to Milton to Braille to Stevie Wonder. M. Leona Godin begins her fascinating, wide-ranging study with an exploration of how the idea of sight is inextricably linked with knowledge and understanding; how "blindness" has, for millennia, been used as a metaphor for ignorance; and how, in metaphorical terms, blindness can also be made to suggest a door to artistic or spiritual transcendence. And she makes clear how all of this has obscured the reality of blindness, as a consequence of which many blind people have to deal not just with their disability but also with expectations of "specialness." Godin illuminates the often surprising history of both the physiological condition and of the ideas that have attached to it. She incorporates analysis of blindness in art and literature (from King Lear to Star Wars) and in culture (assumptions of the blind as pure and magically wise) with the science of blindness and key developments in accessibility (the white cane, seeing eye dogs, eBooks), and with her own experience of gradually losing sight over the course of three decades. Altogether, she gives us a revelation of the centrality of blindness and vision to humanity's understanding of itself and the world"--
