    Your friends and acquaintances are also unknown, the better, but
    Despite this, read this text, as maybe already
    tomorrow, in a month or later you can meet on the street, on
    festival or public power plant man or woman with white
    cane.

    Do not know how you can assist. Or perhaps you
    help blind man so ineptly that will achieve his
    using reverse effect.

    help. Without claims to perfection it will help you to render
    Effective, correct and humane assistance to the one who needs it.

    Saverny service, rendering at the right moment, can bring for both parties enriching experience and positive emotions.
    If this small directory contributes to this case, then it can be said to fulfill its task.


    Help blind when moving the street

    Exist
    Golden rule: before do something for the blind, you need
    ask if he needs in your help. Thus, it turns out
    Respect for his personal freedom.

    In addition, this rule has
    Practical reasons. I will illustrate this as follows: when I
    I stand on the edge of the sidewalk, it happens with me often that they take me by hand
    and drag on the other side of the street, not to say a word. When will learn,
    that I did not want to move across the road, but only waiting for the tram, then
    An unfamiliar assistant is so stunned that leaves me
    one in the middle of the road, mumbling some apologies. In this case
    I do not have anything else, how to go back, counting only
    on yourself.

    Therefore, it is necessary to ask. «Can I give you
    Help when moving the street?» If the answer is positive, then
    Tell me simply: «Take me by the hand and go along the street».
    Warn blind about climbs or descents on the sidewalk.


    Help blind in transport

    Especially
    often finds help blind when they want to enter the tram,
    Bus or train. There are cases when they are simply faced in the crowd
    to the side «blind» Seedy. Fortunately, it happens rarely.

    Sometimes
    Help is so energetic and it turns out at the same time
    several people so that blind, together in order to fit like everything
    The rest of the passengers will stick up as a bag.

    When leaving
    Transport is observed the opposite picture: blind force
    held in front and rear so that he should have great effort to get out of
    Transportation. Even with the best intentions, this form of assistance is excessive.

    Life next to a blind person
    Blind,
    Making a trip himself, has an idea of ​​the possibilities
    Use tram, train or bus. Will be enough if you
    spend it to the door of the car and show him the handrails, putting on them
    His hand. Legs blind in order, and it can normally enter and
    get out of transport like any other passenger.

    When you exit the transport, show him the handrails and allow you to exit yourself.

    If
    You enter or go out of transport, the presenter goes all the time
    Ahead, shows the handrails or takes your own hand, while
    pointing to the height of the steps.

    When landing in a blind car
    sum up to the door of the car, which is open, put his hand on her
    top edge, other hand for orientation concerns first roof machine,
    and then the seats are already. This is all the assistance expected by him from you.

    Maybe
    happen that you are driving in one vehicle with blind or
    go out with him on one stop, or blind falls on the street and
    It goes slowly due to the intensity of transport, many obstacles,
    found on his way or simply due to the fact that it does not know this
    Locality.

    Do not delay with a proposal of your help. This, however, does not mean that you must impose it.

    For example,
    You can say: «I need to station. Can I spend you
    Little?» With a positive answer, offer blind your hand and
    keep with him your way.

    Do not be, however, disappointed if
    Your kind help is rejected. Some blind valued their
    independence is greater than the help that could bring them
    relief. I do not know whether these blind are right, but the choice is provided to them.
    In most cases, your willingness is made with joy and
    Thanks. Always offer your hand. Never take blind
    under the hands, pushing it when driving. Accompanying blind way
    way you deprive him of confidence. If you go hand about
    Hand, it remains unnecessary: «Turn left or right?».

    Blind
    Feels motion and follow you automatically. When passing
    through the door or narrow place accompanying is always ahead. He
    holds the blind hand, stretching it slightly back to compliance
    Small distance.


    Help blind on sidewalks and lines

    At
    descending on the sidewalk or lifting on the road enough to say that
    will have a descent or lift. Do not interfere blind in feeling them
    Bordeur white cane.

    If you have to climb or go down
    with a blind man on the stairs, then quite simple
    say:»Attention, steps (rise up or fall down)», and
    then showing a blind hand, climb or go down with him.

    Blind
    It will be convenient to stick to the other hand railing stairs. Put it
    hand on the railing and tell me: «Railing on the right or left of you». In any
    case, specify him at the beginning or end of the stairs. If you not
    accompany blind further, then show him the railing, as was indicated
    higher.

    If there is a choice between the escalator and
    ladder, then grant the blind right of choice. In any case, you
    must be clearly informed if we are talking about an escalator.


    Do not be afraid to talk with blind

    IN
    conversation with blind many people do not dare to pronounce such words
    how «watch», «overlook» or «blind». In this case, they say:
    «My uncle too… E, E… such» or «My grandmother has the same», then
    Lose self-control and begin to apologize: «Oh, sorry, I'm not talking about it
    Thought:» and T.D.

    Life next to a blind person
    And this is at the time when blind often joke themselves
    His defeds. Word «blind» they consume and listen as well as
    other words and word «watch» or similar words they use in
    conversation for explaining your special type of view: sniff, suck,
    touch. In read this book (font for blind or listened). «I
    Seeing a beautiful subject» (touched, fell). «I looked at this play»
    (listened).

    Therefore, you can say without any difficulty
    Blind: «Want to inspect this subject?» - While give him
    In hand, for example, bottle, clothing object or something else.
    Use without fear «blind» or «blindness», If these words
    Meet in conversation.

    However, it is not easy to ask: «You are blind?»,
    «So you do not see anything at all? Absolutely blind? Oh, it's terrible! You
    Blind from birth? From illness or from an accident and t.D.».

    Think
    always about the fact that blind though not see, but they are not deaf, so
    Whisper-pronounced remarks type: «Worse can not be!» or
    «It is better to die than to be blind» - Blind perfectly hear. Leave
    better your opinion with you, because the blind holds at all
    Other opinion.



    Help blind in the store

    If you
    help blindly enter the store, spend it to the seller, they are his
    willingly serve. If you have time, then spend it to the right
    Department.

    If blind knows what he would like to buy, then
    Purchase goods immediately. If he would like first
    look at the range, then decompose the various items in front of him,
    So that he could feel them. He will have an idea of ​​the form, the amount
    and quality.

    Describe it color, drawing and t.D. Do not delay S
    Recommendation, for example: «I want to tell you that that color you do not
    fits». If when paying the blind does not call you the value
    The banknote given, then you must tell him by: «You gave me 100
    Marks». Usually blind well knows what kind of money it gives, but the mistake is not
    is excluded, so it is possible to prevent troubles.
    At the same time, it is recommended to consider money at the score or exchange of money in
    the hand is blind that he would not seek later, first of all, minor money.
