Perspectives on Vision Loss from Someone Who’s Visually Impaired
Welcome one and all to this most unusual Tech Connect!
Today we are sitting down with Mr. Cory Ballard, CATIS and Director of Technology at Vision Forward Association, to discuss the emotional impacts of vision loss and various strategies for navigating them.
Most of the time we skip over this part of the story and focus on the assistive technology tools that help folks live their lives. But today we want to take a step back and examine more fundamentally how people cope with a loss of vision.
Cory explains how, because he was born with sight and ended up losing nearly all of it by the age of twelve, he can empathize with the serious social and emotional stresses that such a transition can put on a person. As such, our goal today is to open up discussion of these struggles and walk through how best to navigate these situations from the perspective of a student, employee and parent.
Still have questions for Cory? Then post them down in the comments! Or leave your own stories about how has being visually impaired presented particular challenges for you? And more importantly, how were you able to overcome those challenges? What advice were you given, and what do you wish you could tell your younger self?
