Adams says she feels a calling to bring her positive attitude with her to work. Despite the fact that she has no vision at all, she gets all over the eastern half of Connecticut to assist other blind and visually impaired people. A rehabilitation teacher of the blind, Adams works with two sets of clients. These are mostly people who have lost their vision because of cataracts, macular degeneration or diabetes. I teach them how to do the things they used to do with the help of adaptive and tactile devices.
Computer training is the other part of Adams.
I teach people who are blind to use computers that are specially adapted with speech software. They use a regular keyboard, but when they hit a certain key, the computer reads back what they have typed in. Many of her computer trainees run their own businesses. On the job, Adams uses an assistant to drive her to her home and work site visits, and to help with set up tasks she can. This allows her to focus on the training and counseling.
