Webster's dictionary gives "colorblind" two definitions: one, the ability to see only black, white and shades of gray, and two, the inability to distinguish one or more colors. In Arlene Evans's book, "Color is in the Eye of the Beholder", we learn that many people use the word "colorblind" incorrectly. Most people are not "blind" to color, but simply don't see as wide a range of colors. The word we should be using to describe this is DVD or Color Vision Deficiency.
One of the stories shared in this wonderful, small book is about a mother who learns about her son's moderate CVD and exclaims, "My husband was so frustrated this morning because he tried to teach colors to our son!" Now she and her husband knew why the small boy was unable to distinguish some of his colors. Ms. Evans goes on to explain the best colors for classroom activities, the different ways CVD is caused (acquired versus genetics) and much more.
This book, written for adults, is a good companion to "Seeing Color: It's My Rainbow, Too" which could be easily shared with children. There is an excellent glossary, bibliography and index in the back. This book belongs in the personal library of every elementary school nurse and teacher.
