"Best-written description of the VA's Blind Rehabilitation Program that I've seen and an invaluable tool for those veterans considering participation in one of the Regional Centers."
—Patrick J. Caskey, M.D., North Bay Vitreoretinal Consultants

"Thanks to the VA Blind Rehabilitation Center's program, I've come around 180 degrees."
—R.A. Rodriguez, U.S. Navy, Vietnam, Vision problem: Tractional Retina Detachment

"The most reliable help in sight loss is to profit from others who have learned to cope with it. It's never going to be easy, but with guidance from others who have been there, things will be less frustrating. Bill McGee shows what a wonderful job the VA is doing to help sight loss sufferers deal effectively with their new condition."
—Charles Champlin, former film critic and Arts Editor of the Los Angeles Times

"I've had the pleasure of being a student at the Western Blind Rehab Center on four occasions...all of it a great experience. Bill's booklet tells it as it really is and I will share with my fellow classmates at Braille here in the Desert."
—Pete Schabarum, former San Francisco 49er and California politician

Are you or someone you love one of the millions who suffer from sight loss? Legally-blind since 2003, author William L. McGee tells how he got back to writing in this inspiring new booklet and companion Audio CD. In 2009, McGee resided for six weeks at a VA Blind Rehab Center in Palo Alto, California. He describes the various components of the VA’s treatment program – Visual Skills, Orientation and Mobility, Living Skills, Manual Skills, Computer Access Training, Recreation Therapy, and Family Training – and then recounts his personal observations and day-to-day experiences.

“Sight loss can be a very stressful event in anyone’s life,” says McGee. “My objective in writing this booklet is to inform and inspire anyone living with sight loss or low vision to ‘get up off the couch’ and seek help from one of the many VA -- and non-VA -- blind resources listed in the book’s appendix.”
