My daughter is legally blind. I have dealt with Emily's visual challenges since she was born. Early on, we decided to explain to Emily that her visual problems were only a "minor inconvenience". It worked. Emily, who has optic nerve glioma, and has 20/800 in one eye and 20/2000 in the other, graduated with a BFA in visual arts no less.
People with disabilities come with all kinds of issues. In my mind, the real issue is for the individual to never give up hope, dream great dreams, and work like crazy to achieve those dreams.
