One of my favorite sites for info on everything from adjusting to vision loss to tech tips to cane travel is the  site aph.org<\/a>.  Not only do they offer some great products and services, they also have a great blog, called Fred’s Head.  Here’s the blurb right off the home page: <\/p>\n

The Fred’s Head blog contains tips, techniques, tutorials, in-depth articles, and resources for and by blind or visually impaired people. Fred’s Head is offered by the American Printing House for the Blind.  Fred’s Head is named after the legendary Fred Gissoni of APH’s Customer Relations Department.<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

The Fred’s Head blog is superbly   managed by Michael McCarty,  who is social media coordinator for APH.  He is also President of the Kentucky Council of the Blind, and has provided ADA training to TARC, MV Transportation, Yellow Cab and a host of other local businesses. He is a dog guide user and co-host of a weekly radio program that focuses on issues faced by the blind and visually impaired from local, state and national levels.  Michael has also written many of the articles you\u2019ll find on the site.<\/p>\n
