Answer:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Introduce yourself

When you start a conversation with a blind or visually impaired person, introduce yourself so they know who you are. Remember that everyone has varying levels of vision, some visually impaired people are able to see you and recognise you, whereas others like myself are not.

If we know you well then you don’t have to introduce yourself because we will know who you are, however if we have met you for the first time or only met you a couple of times then it’s a good idea to introduce yourself. Many blind and visually impaired people like myself can recognise people’s voices so this usually isn’t an issue for people that we know and have spoken to before.

Don’t assume

Assumptions can often come naturally because of misconceptions and stigmas that many non-disabled people have, but they can be very frustrating for us blind and visually impaired people. Not making assumptions makes the situation so much easier for everyone.

If you’re unsure of something, then ask. Most blind and visually impaired people are happy to answer any questions that you might have, within reason of course. You don’t learn if you don’t ask right?

There is a lot of curiosity surrounding visual impairment and disability so it’s only natural that people have questions. Think about the question that you’re asking, is it invasive? Is it too personal? If it is then don’t ask, these sort of questions can often seem rude and put us in an uncomfortable position.

Treat a blind or visually impaired person like you would anyone else
