Mom and I working together: Knocking on the cupboard doors
This is just one way that Mom and I communicate.
Here is how: She sends me off to fetch something for her.
She tells me which cupboard it is in and then I begin to knock on the doors as I walk around her kitchen.
I knock and she says no if it is not the right door.
She says yes when I knock on the right door.
Next I open the door and she tells me which shelf and which part of the shelf.
This is working like a charm and I really like it. Mom is happy and I am happy.
I'm Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly award-winning, sight-loss coach and accessibility advisor wishing you a terrific day.

Very frustrating! Over there or over where?
Over there really does not mean much to me, especially so when someone either points to a spot or makes some other sort of visual sign. I need to be given specific directions or I’ll be asking, over where?
I need to ensure that those directing me can describe what or where they wish me to go. Pointing or giving me some sort of a visual sign does not help me.
Nor does nodding help me. I am unable to hear when a head movement is used or pointing is used.

Confusion reigns! When noisy places challenge me
As someone who is vision impaired, I depend almost exclusively on my sense of hearing and when noise affects my ability to hear then it is practically impossible to navigate, engage, and communicate. Added to this is when masks are being worn and then combine this with a noisy environment then everything turns horrible.

Good way to go! Rest and relax
This is what I almost always do anytime I find myself getting off track and this usually happens anytime there is either too much noise around me or I have become overwhelmed with attempting to do too many things all at once.
This is really no different for anyone but in the case of too much noise around me, it affects my ability to negotiate and navigate my surroundings. With precious little sight I need to know where things are because I cannot see my surroundings.
So, what do I do? I just do my best to minimize noise around me. It is not always easy to do this but I do the best I can.

We need to pay more attention! Scam scares
At the best of times scam scares, as I call them, are horrible nightmares for us all. But, as a blind/vision-impaired person, it is even more so. What does this all mean for me?
It means that I need to be overly watchful. I have to be on the alert at all times and I need to depend on being able to be logical, sensible, and to use all of my senses to help me navigate.
It is even more so because of my lack of vision. I cannot read facial expressions. I cannot read printed forms, and I need to use every ounce of energy to listen and comprehend as much as possible.

A refresher for me: Reacquainting myself with the elevator buttons
For some very odd reason I was recently having problems finding the button for the ground floor in my condo complex's elevators. No, it had nothing to do with poor markings on the buttons. These were perfectly marked but it all had to do with my not being able to find the right button for the ground floor.
I struggled for a wee bit, even getting lost once or twice, but then Stephanie came to my rescue. She found the perfect way to reacquaint me with everything.
First, she showed me how to locate the large button at the bottom of the group of buttons. This is the button, or should I call it the keyhole, where staff can insert a key to unlock or lock the elevator. Next, she expertly guided my fingers to find the button for the ground floor, which is dead straight ahead of the keyhole.
The keyhole is very different to the touch in comparison to the other buttons. It is more rounded, smaller, and is definitely different to the touch.
Everything worked like a charm after this and now I can navigate the buttons in the elevator without any difficulty.
