Writing Your Signature

One important aspect to learn for life is writing your signature. This will often be needed for things like bisnuiss or appointments. As a blind person, there are a few strategies to do this well.

The first way of writing your signature is to use what is known as a signature guide. It is like a small credit card but has a rectangle cut out of the middle. You can ask someone with you to place the card over the line on the paper and begin writing your signature inside the slot.

If you don’t have a signature guide available, you can also as for help another way. Have the person with you place one of their fingers at thebeginning of the line where you will write on. You will then set the tip of your pencil or pen beside their finger and sign your name. The only thing to be mindful of with this method is to not move up or down at all.

After some practice, this skill will become second nature. With strategies like these, you can sign your own name. You will need a little help but nobody will have to do it for you.
