SPECIALIZED AIDS AND APPLIANCES
You should become familiar with specialized aids and appliances used by blind people in daily life. You may be called upon to demonstrate them and to teach their use.
As funds permit, the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults makes such aids and appliances available free to blind people who cannot afford them. You should be alert to such situations and bring them to the attention of the executive director along with your recommendations.
New items are being developed all of the time. As you become aware of them, you should pass along that information. From time to time, you may be called upon to evaluate a new device to determine its usefulness for blind people.
