I have two blind seniors in my home. My Georgie, who is also deaf, really upset me for a while as he seemed to have a difficult time adjusting and bumped into things a lot. I just made sure that the house was safe for him (nothing sharp at his level) and let him learn on his own. It took a while, but he did adjust. It broke my heart watching it, but now he does pretty well. He does seem to get a bit out of kilter at times...when he does, I pick him up and put him in one of his favorite spots so that he can get his bearings. Same thing when I hold either one of them....I always put them down in a familiar to them spot. I think if you restrict them too much they don't learn. Maybe you could start him out in just one room instead of the whole house. |
