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. 0:00 Start 1:05 Preamble 2:05 First Impression 4:05 Grade School 7:30 Emotions of Vision Loss 12:45 Vision Loss as an Adult vs Child 15:35 21st Century Technology 18:30 YouTube Community 19:05 Retrospective Advice 21:38 Contact Info Still have questions for Cory?
