Do not correct or speak for the person. Do not pretend to understand if you do not. Never lean against or decide to push a person's wheelchair. Identify yourself clearly, and introduce anyone else who is present. This will enable you to guide rather than propel or lead the person When you come to a step, say whether it's a step up or a step down When offering a seat, place the person's hand on the back or arm of the chair When talking in a group which includes people with visual impairments remember to say the name of the person to whom you are speaking Do not leave someone talking to an empty space.
Sighted people enjoy rich full lives, working, playing and raising families.
People who are sighted may walk or ride public transportation, but most choose to travel long distances by operating their own motor vehicles. This means that in many situations, they will not be able to communicate orally and may resort to pointing or other gesturing. Subtle facial expressions may also be used to convey feelings in social situations. Calmly alert the sighted person to his surroundings by speaking slowly, in a normal tone of voice. Questions directed at the sighted person help focus attention back on the verbal rather than visual communication.
