I have been picking color, changing lighting and moving furniture around for my whole life. Lately, it has more meaning. My mother has Low Vision. Making changes for her has made her place safer. My sister has helped people with Low Vision for over a decade now in her Occupational Therapy practice. She changes people’s habits, I change people’s habitat.
