Ask the Coach!
April 2026
My name is Donna Jodhan and I am using my extensive experience as a sight loss coach as well as my lived experience to share and respond to questions that are submitted to me and I also invite you to share your thoughts on questions asked.
For this month: a question from Ryan in Louisville Kentucky.
Ryan wants to know if there are note takers for a blind person as he is trying to find one for himself. He recently lost his vision.
My response:
Hello Ryan and absolutely. There are Braille note takers and some persons even use audio recorders as note takers.
I use a Braille note taker but I also depend heavily on using notepad or Word on my computer.
It all depends on your preference.
Some folks take notes with their audio recorder and I have done this many times as well.
I hope this helps.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

A question from Erin in Montreal Canada.
Erin wants to know if there is such a gadget that one can use to steam fish and vegetables in a microwave?
My response:
Hello Erin and absolutely!
I bought one of these nifty gadgets over a year ago.
It works wonders for me whenever I am in a rush and looking for a healthy meal.
I place my fish and vegetables in the steamer, cover it, and then place it in my microwave.
It steams like a charm!
Two to three minutes will do the trick.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
