BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Listeners' questions; VI rehab worker; blind child's play

Experts answer listeners' questions, encouraging your visually impaired child to play.

Our experts answer three questions posed by listeners, Peter White meets a visually impaired rehab worker, and how to teach your blind child to play.

How do you keep reading when you're losing your sight, and what are the most usable dating websites when you're blind? Just two of the questions that will be answered in the first of our occasional series called "The In Touch In-Tray".

RNIB Scotland, The Scottish Sensory Centre and the Royal Blind School in Edinburgh have produced a DVD called Let Me Play, to demonstrate to parents of visually impaired children aged 0 to five, some ways to engage their children in play.

Peter White has his first ever mobility lesson, and meets Miriam Osborne, a visually impaired rehabilitation worker.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
