Forum News:

Remember to tell your white cane story. Also look for the thread about pediatric vision screening. Tell us your story about your childhood or someone you know who experienced a vision issue as an infant. While attending the training center for the blind I met several individuals who dealt with vision as a baby.

Coming next week:

Until next week – Have a great week!
