All About Color Blindness: A Guide to Color Vision Deficiency for Kids (And Grown-ups Too)

Corey, a fourth-grader, explains how his color deficiency caused problems in kindergarten. A trip to the eye doctor reveals the problem. Corey's color confusion is a physical condition that many people share and it has nothing to do with how smart he is. Once he understands his color vision, Corey sails past color-dependent obstacles with a positive attitude and confident communication. Color Vision Deficiency isn't the end of the world, says Corey. It's just a different view of it!

Corey's Questions: Easy answers to common questions: What is CVD? How many people have it? How do I know if I have it? What do people with CVD see?

Living with CVD: Practical coping techniques for common situations that stress confidence and communication. A reference chart groups a multitude of color names into manageable families (brown, green, red, etc.)
