Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-19 00:00:00 Renee Pickerign Packed with lots of good information. Some of it is a little old-school and she admits that the technology part is obsolete before the book can be published. However, a great reference for the many stages of raising children. I'm a grandmother so I recognize the practical aspects for parenting, she seems "right on". I hope it's useful for raising a child with vision impairments. We are new to this, so I don't know how it translates into "real life" situations. But it was recommended as a go-to guide on blindness by many web-sites. I gave it three stars because it hasn't passed the reality check test. Maybe in a couple years I can give it more stars. The author is very encouraging though and a parent dealing with these issues needs all the encouragement they can get. Also 3 stars because it is a reference book and not exactly a joy to plow through. It was pretty well laid out and you could pick and choose which sections you needed to focus on. Also, it's the first book I read on Blindness in Children so I don't have a lot to compare to.
