Modifications

had to be made to our daily life and routines. Joseph's eyesight (or lack of) is permanent we are learning ways to make life easier and more normal for him.
These are some of the modifications we've had to make...
(lots of pics, it would be hard to explain without them)

Meet Albert, Joseph's walking companion.
He is a trek pole,
our favorite REI guy hooked us up at the REI bi-annual garage sale. He knew we were coming and what we were after he held onto these (I say these because it was a set of 2, 1 broken, 1 good) and brought them to us while we were in line with our other finds.

Albert has a great handle with an adjustable strap.

We modified the tip by adding a rubber cap.
In Home modifications:
This is the dryer, we used craft foam with a sticky back used a hole punch to make the lovely dots. The dots are color coded and tactile. Joseph just has to line up the dots (using sight and or touch).

This is the washer, he has to line up the dots to turn the washer on the normal cycle.
Steffi (Mobility Counselor) made a house call and she checked this out, I got a high 5!

Joseph's Enlarger (or CCT TV whatever that means)
It has a camera under the TV part and you can make adjustments, like zoom, focus, invert color, color changes, reading lines or blocks.


This is normal color

Inverted

And color change, there are many colors, some easier on the eyes than others!

So, that is your little peak.
