My daughter Madilyn was born with bilateral anophthalmia in 2005. My role in life transformed within months from stereotypical college girl into the mother of an infant who was blind.

Our Journey

Since then, our family has had to make a lot of tough decisions concerning medical issues, diagnoses, and especially education. Madilyn has attended a variety of schools including a special needs daycare/therapy center, schools for the blind, public school, as well as being homeschooled by me! I know exactly how hard it is to find time for everything like therapy and the expanded core curriculum, all while trying to progress in the general core academics as well. Plus as a parent, it’s a struggle to keep ahead with my own learning about technology, strategies, and research.

My Life’s Passion

I’m dedicated to helping other parents who share a similar path with a child who is visually impaired. The tools and stories I share are here to inspire, motivate, and assist you in living life to the fullest and presenting your children with the opportunities they need to thrive.
