Ive been told today to register both my children as partially sighted ie, disabled to help with funding and help at school, but im really worried as to how this can prohibit their freedom in later years.
Thanks y'all

Are you looking at statementing them under the statement of educational needs hon - in which case talk to the education welfare officer attached to your children's school. She/he will talk generally to you and if you wish to proceed is the person to start the official ball rolling.
Otherwise its a community care assessment through the health and social wealfare dept of your local authority.
PM me if you want.
Hope this helps

from some 1 who knows the to childern in question babe they can over come anything the are bright inteligent funny with big charactors that will take on the world with there family and friends and yes there sight may not b great but medicine is improving and hope is a great tool
and anyway look at the friends your children have amassed by just being themselves
and both can see well enough to wallop lumps out of your friends
babe my vote nothing in life will trully handicap your children it's only a word and they are a whole lot more than a word
and have you seen how they can ride there bikes without stabilisers

I wil register them and just hope that they dont become 'labelled' or limited as an adult.
