Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. This is the story of Cavitt as told by his maternal grandfather Papa Bill Cavitt. From the moment he was born, this perfectly formed infant boy became the focus of many people's lives. This is a documentation of how he impacted his papa's life. In this book the reader will vividly see how he also influenced others. The story shows a journey from birth to the end of the first two years of Cavitt's life; which closely corresponds to the infancy stage of a person's developmental process. It was written as a record for Cavitt to read when he is old enough to understand just how much he is loved by his family. This is a story that may also help others who find themselves going through the same emotional whirlwind when a baby who is blind is born into their family. This story illustrates the developmental stages of well-being for a child and how these stages are impacted by blindness. You will take a journey with Cavitt and see how he developed physically, psychologically, cognitively, socially, and morally during the first two years of his life. The title and letter size of the title is very important to Cavitt's story. First, he is Cavitt and will always be Cavitt. Secondly, at the moment this book was finished he was in that temporary state of being two, but is now on a journey toward three, four, five, and beyond. Cavitt is a person who is blind. This is a reality and cannot be reversed. However, in the scheme of his lifespan it must become a characteristic of Cavitt that does not dictate his life, merely influence it. Therefore very small letters!.

Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. There are many issues that come to the forefront while reading biographies and autobiographies of people who are blind either from birth or later in life. Some of these are: - The blind now have talking computers, reading machines, talking books, and other forms of technology to improve life. - The blind enjoy listening to people's description of thing and touching things when allowed. - Guide dogs for the blind provide more independence, safety, and a beautiful companion. The blind must put all their faith in the dog and let this guide lead the way to where you want to go. - Using a white cane with red tip can open a whole new world of independence and freedom. - The radio is a special friend for the blind. Unlike television, radio depends totally on the spoken word to relate world events. - Schools for the blind are very important because they normally have special training devices available, i.e. raised globes, touch museums, stuffed animals and other items with special features for the blind. - Enhanced sensory capability of a blind person is not automatic but must be developed through hard work. - Bind mannerisms need to be discouraged, but can be over emphasized as a negative stigma and affect a child's self esteem. - Face vision or echo locating needs to be capitalized upon. - The blind eye orbit appearance should be corrected during childhood. - Dancing classes help improve coordination and balance, and builds self- confidence. - Most children should attend a school for the blind because every child has the same opportunity to participate in games, academics and social endeavors. These are only samples of special issues concerning people who are blind found in this book on adventitiously blind people and also the book I Have Never Seen, blind from Infancy about congenitally blind people.

Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. Cavitt Izon Breeze was born with a relatively rare eye disorder called micropthalmia, which means he has been totally blind since birth. At the very beginning of his life family member started to lay the framework for him to one day become totally independent. This independence requires preparing his mind, body, and spirit to respond to each life's event with proper thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to ensure proper development of his physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and moralistic well-being. These areas of development are the main subject of this book. Each issue, experience, accomplishment, and failure shared by the blind people in this book are addressed to Cavitt, who is five years old, but are applicable to any child who is blind and entering the pathway to independence. The stories you will read in this book are about real people with one thing in common, blindness. Some, like little Cavitt they were blind from birth. Others became blind shortly after birth but do not remember ever seeing. They all have a message, "I did it my way, and here is my way." These unique people, who are blind, expressed their mental and emotional selves in a manner that illustrated the physical, psychological, intellectual, social, and moralistic situations in their lives. They showed a willingness to live a life to its fullest despite their handicap.

Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. A child sighted or blind is born into this world with all the building blocks for what they can become. This physical material is impacted by the child's environment over a life time while the "self" evolves. The self is the same in blind children as it is in the sighted, only the developmental process is different. Both children have the same starting materials: mind, body, and spirit. With these parts the child develops a process of thinking, feeling, and behaving toward other people, objects and situations, and they recognize that others also think, feel and behave in their environment. It is with their thoughts, emotions, and actions that children relate to their world using physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and moralistic attributes and through this interrelationship the self evolves. The self is everything that exists in a person's unique world and it exists because of their self-concept and self-esteem. Aspects of self-concept are the elements of well-being that assists our survival in our environment. They consist of all the physical things, our personality, feelings toward life, our knowledge and problem solving techniques, how we successfully interface with others; and our social and spiritual values in life. If our self-concept contains the important things, and issues in life, and there is a high regard for them, then our self will evolve in a manner conducive to peace and harmony. If not, the opposite will occur. The blind child must build a self with a missing part. Granted self will evolve for a blind child, but it must be augmented by all other senses of the body in order to enhance the mind and spirit. A blind child's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors serve the same purpose as they do for a sighted child, but will evolve differently. The physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and moral concepts are necessary, but are obtained without the benefit of the automatic process of seeing. The self evolves but the conduit for inputting their environm.
