In addition to resources from LLLI, there generally are community resources
for the vision-impaired at local, county or state levels. Some of these
agencies have services that can get almost any book put on tape. The mother
in your area may want to call the local health department or even "Welcome
Wagon" to find out of such. Contact the Helen Keller Institute in NYC if
nothing is found locally. (And mention Carl Augusto who used to be our
neighbor but now heads that institute.)
My first co-leader for our LLL group for mothers of multiples was completely
blind due to retinopathy of prematurity, and her husband also was completely
blind. However, she breastfed her (sighted) twins for a couple of years. She
also used to take her boys to visit friends all over the Eastern USA via the
Grayhound bus--she used child harnesses with leashes that she could clip to
her backpack.
