As a parent/guardian, what is the most important thing I can do to help my OA child function successfully in the world?
The single most important thing that any parent can provide for his child is education. The second most important step, especially in children with visual impairments, is never to accept a self-fulfilling prophecy. (An example of a self-fulfilling prophecy is a statement by a physician: “Well, your child will never ride a bicycle”. As a result, you never buy the child a bike. Guess what? The child never learns to ride a bicycle.
