I come to you bringing the shared experience of being a parent of children
with visual impairments. I also am immersed in the field, working as a Professor of
Special Equation and serving on the Board of Trustees for the Texas School f or
the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI). It is from the frame of my lived
experiences and involvement within the field of visual impairment that I hope to
share valuable information and strategies with other parents who are also
navigating the often uncharted waters that come with being a parent to a child with
a visual impairment or deafblindness.
