Coping with vision loss.
A Blind Point of View is a new roundtable podcast where people who are blind or visually impaired come together to have a deep dive conversation about all things related to blindness.
In this first episode, Maria Johnson from GirlGoneBlind.com and Derek Daniel from LifeAfterSightLoss.com join Tim Schwartz to talk about coping with vision loss.
The trio begins by discussing their hopes for this roundtable podcast going forward. Then, each takes a turn at describing their own journey with sight loss. Tim and Derek explain how sight loss affected and even interrupted their lives at a younger age. However, Maria describes a different experience due to losing her vision later in life.
Derek, Maria and Tim not only talk about the many ways that sight loss changed their lives but share the variety of ways they have coped with it over the years. They each describe different people, groups and other experiences that have helped them.
If you would like to be a part of the conversation or have an idea for a future roundtable, please get in touch with either Tim, Derek or Maria.
