Children & Visual Impairment

(Disclaimer: This post does not contain vast information on Visual Impairment and I was not told to say anything that has been posted)

"Visual Impairment (or vision impairment) is vision loss of a person to some degree in which they qualify for additional support and services resulting from a disease, trauma or congenital or degenerative conditions that cannot be corrected conventionally. For example, exercises, operations or medications." (not an exact quote)

This post would be useful to you if you own an ipad of some sort, an iphone or ipod touch. Children with visual impairment of some degree who own an ipad can now have some fun!
One day i was fumbling through apps in search of some games that my child would like to play on the ipad. I had come across quite a few in which can help assist children with vision impairment as well as help children improve their eye movement overall.

Apps specifically made for Visual Stimulation in Babies/Young Children:

• Baby View or Baby View Lite (Free)
• Smart Tot Ratte (Free)
• Infant Zoo
• Black & White
• Tap-n-See Zoo or Lite (Free)

Why Design?

Art. What do you think of when you see the word art? Do you think of painting? drawing? sculptures? maybe dance?

Art is a form of expression. It is when the mind allows you to project your creativity and imagination in all different forms. It is a whole other world. A place you go to to set your mind free and just express all your feelings and thoughts.

Art has always been apart of my life. It practically is my life. 

During my primary and high school education years, i would express myself through paintings, drawings, sculptures and dance. It was my way of escaping reality.

I used to just be alone and doodle in my notepad as often as i could. Because of this i had found my calling in life. 

I wanted to design.

I studied in interior, architecture as well as textile design. I get this joy and fulfilment unlike any other when i have completed a design of my own. Whatever i feel i put it into my work and it makes me happy.

People would always complement me on my designs but i do not see it as anything great. I just see it as something i really love doing and hence why i put my all into it and the outcome may or may not be ecstatic. I think if anyone really loves what they are doing they too would be talented in their own way.
