In this blog I talk a lot about living with a visual impairment and the importance of accessibility. The links below are for posts that I’ve written specifically about those subjects, but I also mention them regularly when writing about other topics, including my monthly Favourites posts about my adventures in London and elsewhere. And I’ve also raised awareness through my collaborations and media appearances with other people and organisations.
If you want to explore further still, there are also Youtube videos by myself and others, and I have pages of links to other blogs & podcasts, sight loss resources and disability resources that may be of interest. And feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions, questions, etc.
