Signatures and writing: How does a blind person learn how to write their name and other crucial tasks related (self.Blind)
submitted 7y ago by blindthrowaway92
I'm using a throwaway for various privacy reasons.
I'm wondering what people would recommend for trying to learn your signature or other characters of the English alphabet. For reasons that I won't go into here I was unable to do this with a teacher of the visually impaired during high school/middle school, and it's really hampering me. Any advice would be welcome. I'm nearly totally blind. I have light perception but that's about it.
Thanks!

Not an expert but the OT that works with a totally blind student I know primarily focused on learning to write their first and last name initials and connecting the two letters with one line since that's all a signature really requires. For other letters, using stencils or finding someone or a website to verbally explain how to draw a letter step by step without picking up the pen may work (drawing with your finger in the air is good at first). Sorry I don't have any online resources to give but I hope this is a little helpful/relevant for you!

Hi,
I'm guessing you'd like to learn the shapes of regular English/Latin alphabet from scratch & develop a signature.
There are a bunch of apps that ʻight work for you
http://www.pathstoliteracy.org/blog/apps-early-learning-blind-visually-impaired-deafblind
These are mostly for young BVI learners but I don't see why to respect the age limits :)
A sighted tutor & also maybe some wikki stix to make the shapes of the alphabet letters (or get a set of alphabet wirh shape from amazon) so you can then try to replicate the letters yourself
