Our Story
It began with a question…what is it like to acquire life skills when you are blind or vision impaired?
Instead of finding a simple answer, this question raised even more questions:
- How do people make sense of Orientation and Mobility (O&M)?
- Why do some people living with blindness or low vision understand and value learning O&M skills and others do not?
- How do people understand the connection between O&M, independence, dependence, and interdependence?
- What can parents do to ensure their child with impaired vision acquires age/stage relevant life skills?
The answer to these questions led to the creation of Blind Focus. To read the full story click here.
