Title: Difficulties?
Post by: Wizard on May 16, 2010, 08:17:26 am
Some time ago I was talking with a pal who was born blind and it came into the conversation Difficulties.The worst bit of course is not being able to see ever.So how do you explain a field of Oil Seed Rape in flower,a summer sky with blue and billowing white clouds,a pretty girls face.Don't for get he has not seen any colour ever :( :farmer:.

There was a great film showing how someone taught children who had never had sight, cannot remember what is was called but, you can use smell, touch, sound e.g. a block of ice could be white, coal, black, a sunny day could be something just off the washing line or dryer  that smells fresh and warm!! Difficult but gets your brain going!!!
