Additional Information

For the past two years, I have been volunteering to work with a young man who is totally blind. He lost his vision when he was nine years old due to a glioblastoma (brain tumor). In addition to vision loss, he suffers from mild cognitive delays. I was told the wanted to learn how to play chess, therefore, that is what I have been teaching him. In the beginning, I had to tactually orient him to the chess board and help him to determine the white and black chess pieces. With time and patience, he has become a worthy chess opponent. He also enjoys playing UNO. He has Braille UNO cards which tell him the color and the number. I often join him and a small group of his family members to play the game. Working with this young man has truly been a rewarding and life changing experience.
