We searched for five years for answers to our questions about our daughter's eye problems. Each time we got new information, I found the official termonology in this book with a clear, concise explanation for what was written in the doctor's reports. This book explains the different exams and tests as well as what you can to do help your child get the most out of the vision he/she has. Also includes valuable resources and other information. A must have if your child has, or you suspect your child has, a visual impairment.

I work with blind and visually impaired children as a teacher. The parents with whom I work have taught me a great deal, and reading this book has helped me to understand some of their concerns, questions, and what they have gone through.
New teachers with B/VI students seems to go through a similar process when they hear they will have a student who is unique in this way, so it has helped me have more productive conversations with them, as well.
I have met the editor at a conference. Not surprised she produced such a quality piece of work. A must buy, and a very good price.

My daughter has a ONH/SOD. I found this book to be very informative. The only problem that I had with it was the way it made me feel. I know stating the facts is one thing. But it made me feel that the author was a little to cold. I also felt that the author had a JOB to write this book. I did not feel any warmth or compassion at all. It was purely factual.
