I'm curious where it will end... <br /><br />I did lower the bar by changing language and reading something more recreational. It's a little easier indeed. I hope my reading will improve as for it to be workable within a year or so. Right now my vision is still quite inconsistent, I have to sleep a lot and by the end of the day there's no way I can do bar reading... But at least I can already so some bar reading earlier in the day haha!<br /><br />Based on all you've read, what would be your prognosis? Don't feel obliged, I'm just curious. I hope as my motor abilities improve the sensory part will fall into place. I'm relatively relaxed nowadays and that's how it feels sometimes, even though I didn't had any grand revelations yet.

You demonstrate all the concepts and strategies a good therapist uses to alternate between raising consciousness to a process, streamlining it, and then shifting it towards automaticity.<br /><br />Bar readers are an interesting challenge... why not "lower the bar" on the material to test your comprehension. Use children's books, and/or larger print and work down from there.<br /><br />While you are looking for cheat-proof, you can try red/greens and a sorting activity, like with buttons or attribute blocks. Make a Venn diagram of different sets, and work out where all the pieces go.<br />:)<br />Thanks as always for sharing your journey!<br />Sincerely,<br />Dr. Samantha Slotnick<br />www.drslotnick.comSamantha Slotnick, OD, FAAO, FCOVDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00382920099749886427noreply@blogger.com
