Tips For Sighted People Who Want To Help

Living to the full may be difficult for some people who face numerous challenges. This case is true for people who have issues with their eyesight or who are visually impaired. These individuals may find accomplishing numerous tasks hard because they hardly see a thing. Imagine crossing the road without clear vision. That is difficult. Right?

But be reminded that these visually impaired individuals still deserve your respect. They are humans who try to live every single day with their heads up high. Now, if you want to extend a helping hand to these people, ask them first if they want it. Understand that some of them do not like to receive help from others. But some are okay with it.

Here are some tips for assisting people with visual impairment:

· Ask the people where they need to go and assist them

· Walk with them by matching their speed

· Describe orally the obstacles in front of them

· Be specific in describing objects

· Do not pet their dogs so as not to distract these pets from doing their job in assisting people with visual impairment
