Today Frankie's EI teacher came and she had a hoarse voice from a cold. I told him she was coming and she came in and said hi. She was talking to me for a minute and and he kept asking me, "Is that Ms. R"? He wasn't sure because her voice sounded different and I guess he really does not see faces that clearly. We do not realize how much he relies on his hearing and tells people by their voices. It was just surprising to me.
I am still thinking about his legally blind status too. I got something from the MA Commission for the Blind in the mail today because he is registered as a legally blind person in MA. I have not had a chance to read it, but I am still getting used to it and it is still sinking in, I think.
