Sharon Beattie shares some ideas for families. This is the second part of her
BLENNZ Family story. OK, some hot tips for families. First and foremost, to me, you need
to accept the possibility that your child is low vision. You need to accept that there
could be, that there are going to be other people involved in his life, for his well
being. Take each day as it comes and face those hurdles as they come, which we have
done, you know. But basically it's just making sure that the family, family and friends understand
about your child's needs and just be true to it. I think that's all, it's the only tip
I can give, because every family is different. Not every family works on the same lines.
But if they can't work with their children, there is lots and lots of people out there
who willing to come in, talk to you and you know, just walk with you, in the walk that
you are going to take with your child. Many thanks to Sharon and her family. You can find
