Hi Folks
Okay...so this is taking extreme liberties with a Lupus Forum but I figure this is the best place to get a response from world wide members
Does anyone have any experience of colour blindness? Nothing to do with Lupus. Just your ordinary run of the mill colour blindness....
My nine year old foster child is profoundly colour blind and his school is trying to help him in whatever way they can.Just recently he came home all excited and said that his art teacher gave him a special lot of pencils with the colour name taped on the outside, e.g. DG = dark green, B = blue, DB = Dark Blue, etc. I was delighted for him because he just HATED art classes up to that point....
So today he came home and he confided in me that whilst it was grand to have the colours 'named' he hadnt got a clue what colour goes where! Poor kid! For example he has no idea what colour the sky shoud be. On occasion I have asked him to name the colour of a bright blue sky and he has said 'pink' or 'purple'. I think he responds to the mood of the day.
Sorry for abusing the forum but, what the hey!, nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Do any of you have experience of this and any tools or techniques that might help?
Luv n stuff
