All children hurt themselves, and many children break bones during their childhood. Blind children walk independently, take care of themselves independently and should be expected to do household chores. The following common sense ideas are included to get you started if there are no services readily available to you now. Direct indoor lighting or sunlight coming in through the windows may affect any child's ability to use his vision effectively. It is much easier to see things that do not have a glare effect.
Glare is produced when the light is reflected off of an object.
If you have the choice of a bright laminated top or a wood surface, to play on, choose the wood, it will not cause glare. When you go to buy things for your child to play with or to decorate her room try to choose objects that are red, blue, green, yellow or black and white. All youngs children are attracted to primary colors. Many children see bright red or bright yellow objects most easily. Watch your child to see if there is a color that she responds to more readily, but often red is the color ROP children respond to first.
