One of the main things I discuss in this blog is living with a visual impairment, to show that it isn’t a barrier to living my life. I also discuss other relevant issues and link to material by other visually impaired and disabled people. So if there’s anything you want me to post about, questions you want to ask, or links you can recommend, do contact me.
