Speaker: Laura Newman, PhD
During this discussion, we will explore the unique challenges faced by parents raising children with vision loss and explore effective strategies for maintaining their own well-being. The journey of parenting can be demanding for those with visually impaired children, and amidst the responsibilities, it’s crucial for parents to prioritize self-care. This discussion will encompass practical self-care techniques, emotional resilience, coping with a new vision diagnosis, and the importance of building a support network.
