From the introduction...
Through the years, we have been privileged to have many parents
discuss with us their reactions and concerns upon learning that their
babies are visually handicapped. Because of their openness, we have become
aware that many feelings are commonly shared.
Parents are able to come together and meet other families at the Blind Childrens Center. This sharing process acknowledges that their feelings are a normal reaction to a diagnosis of visual impairment and reassures parents that they are not alone.
