blindness is managable and once you get the hang of it you can still be very independant. youre mom will probably want to think about codeing everything in his closet so that he can get dressed himself, and be very very careful about leaving items in the exact spot where he knows to find them. is he going to get a seeing eye dog/service dog? they are great for maintaining independence also.
also, i know this may sound cruel, but make him do stuff that may seem difficult (and which he may ask help with).... if he tried and failed then guide him, dont do it for him |
