Semester 2: Week 13

This week’s content focuses on blindness and low vision. According to the Cleveland Clinic (2022), a person is considered to be blind or have low vision if they have a visual impairment that cannot be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, eye drops or other medical therapy, or surgery. You will learn from the first article about the idea that blindness is a spectrum, just like autism! The next article covers courteous, or respectful, interactions with those who are blind or have low vision. This will help you to be a good friend. Keep in mind that everyone has different preferences, so make sure you ask your blind friends about their preferences. Finally, Griffin Pinkow shares about blindness and his experiences as a blind person in this week's video.
