    As a mama raising a daughter who has been blind since birth, it is always encouraging to hear stories of adults living successful, independent lives. Maybe we will move to NZ.

    A blind psychologist, that just means she has an extra skill, not judging by vision. Also it might make others with vision issues , disabilities or social differences feel more comfortable.also as a client you know they really are not just committed but passionate about their job, otherwise they wouldn’t have shrugged off other people’s disapproval.

    I reckon a blind therapist would be really helpful for autistic adults,definitely something for ppl that can't relax around eye contact

    Thank God this lady didn't listen to the doubters and used their ignorance to empower herself and teach others. Her positivity is contagious and I hope this is spread far and wide...

    Best country for people with disabilities... By watching all the programs. I must say New Zealand is the best.

    My best friend's younger sister is blind. She is a lawyer now working for a University in Waterloo, Ontario Canada and her husband is also blind and he is a Music Therapist (plays the piano). He works with elderly patients with Alzheimer's. They both are also fantastic singers and have done concerts. They have a 3 year old girl (so adorable) and she can see. She is pregnant with her second child and is due, I think in January or February 2021.
