Then came a man named Abraham Nemeth who had a gifted mind and a love for math and physics. He was determined to explore math and science so he developed a code to do so - the Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics and Scientific Notation.

| Early learning is so important. Tom loves books. |
His story is fascinating. I've collected several links for you to learn more about Dr. Nemeth and I hope you will take a moment to read them.

I m Mohita from india .love to see ur son is doing great. my 2 months old daughter is diagnosed with PHPV and closed funnel retinal detachment, in both eyes. Any advise regarding surgery or any thing else u may pls share
ReplyDeleteHello! My son has bilateral PHPV too and his is very severe. When he was young we were so afraid of what would happen and unsure of his future. I think learning more about blindness helped us to recognize that the potential for a great and prosperous future still exists. I would read every article you can from Future Reflections - it's written for parents and teachers of blind children. https://nfb.org/future-reflections
ReplyDeleteSurgically I would say that we are glad we saw Dr. Capone at Beaumont Hospital. Tom now has light perception but has no form vision or other level of sight. He has glaucoma but his eyes are stable and that's enough for us! He is happy and developing well. I believe he will find his way in life and be happy. I hope the same for your daughter!
Just teach her all you can and keep a positive view of blindness. She can be just as capable as other children - she just needs training and blindness skills.
Good luck!
