How to be courteous in social settings with people who are blind or low vision?
Please talk to them directly, rather than to their companions, and talk like you would with other people.
It’s ok to still use words such as see and look. People who are blind/low vision will talk with you like everyone else, although they may not be able to make direct eye contact.
Losing some or all of your eye sight takes some adjusting to. Find out how we can help by reaching out to our program director, Linda Groszew by calling 973-627-0055 ext. 1312.
