What would you say to describe or lead a tour of your favorite place? (self.Blind)
submitted 8y ago by oxensneeze
A room, a building, a park, a campus, a neighborhood, etc.
I am curious not only about what features and impressions visually impaired people consider important, but also about how these are woven together into a description.

As a person with a vision impairment whom also works with the blind, I would say describe the stand out points. Not every minuscule detail like colors of bricks on buildings (unless it's an interesting color). If there are huge oak trees, a statue or fountain mention it and offer to get closer.
The person you are describing to will also pick up on their own details, sounds and smells and texture under their feet or cane.
Describing an area and giving street name is great to offer in case your guest is separated from you. They can ask for landmarks or street names to get back where they need to be.
