We have had one intern that was legally blind. One of his rotations was to stock shelves in the linen room. He had a great memory. So we just showed him the linen, he could feel the difference and just memorized by feel. The only linen that was a problem was the gowns and scrubs because material was the same just a different color. We also had brail charts made up and he was able to stock the linen carts. In Food Service he was able to role silverware in napkins, count items and bag them for the floors. (example 50 sugar packs to a baggie and tape shut). We are located in a hospital also.
