Ways in which rehabilitation advice can help:

Mobility training

• Learning a safe route to your local shops
• How to use public transport
• The use of a symbol cane, to let the public know you have a sight impairment
• Long cane training

Reading and writing

• The importance of good lighting
• Use of a writing frame and thicker black pens
• Large print
• Electronic magnifiers
• The use of computers and keyboard skills
• Correct use of magnifiers
• The teaching of Braille or Moon

Daily living skills

• Cooking – perhaps using a talking microwave
• How to mark items so they are easy to recognise
• Using the telephone – large button telephones, free directory enquiries
• How to tell the time

These are just some of the ways in which rehabilitation can help – you may be surprised at how much you will still be able to enjoy.
