A print handicap is any condition which makes it difficult or impossible for you to read conventional printed materials. It may be a vision problem, a physical limitation which makes it hard to hold a book, or a cognitive problem temporarily resulting from a brain surgery.
Most states have programs to assist people who have print handicaps.
Libraries for the Blind and Physically Handicapped lend audio books and players to people who qualify for the program. Mrs. Betty B. from Tennessee has graciously volunteered to talk with anyone who has concerns about visual impairment or coping with printed materials in new ways. Betty has VHL and has been blind for many years. She has three daughters and two grandchildren, and is an active teacher of Braille. There are several organizations that can provide help including training for home activities, visual aids, work training, audio tapes and braille material.
