Hooray! Check out the new blog post with guest Hilda Dunford from @ourblindside. We answer the question: How do you keep your blind/visually impaired child active and safe? The post also includes a list of highly recommended camps and activities!

Today we had the wonderful opportunity to help a new little friend understand the value of Braille. He was enamored with Kai’s refreshable braille display and the idea that he could one day be independent in the classroom (and work force). We are huge advocates for Braille literacy and love the opportunity to share the benefits of braille with others. We are stronger when navigating blindness together. (And, a huge shout out to the people who have blazed the trail for us.) #Braille #Blindness #SightLoss #Blind #Awareness #Advocacy #Teacher #TVI #NavigatingBlindness #RP #RetinitisPigmentosa #LegallyBlind #Accessibility #AltText #literacy

Kai’s happy place ❤️ video shows him sprinting full speed on the wet sand toward an ocean wave, dropping his skim board and jumping on to it and wrapping a wave. #BlindAthlete #NavigatingBlindness #BlindKidsCan @kai.owens

Picture of Kai just off the beach after great, COLD, surf and skim session, rinsing his feet in an outdoor shower, lower half of wetsuit on, dry clothes and #WhiteCane in left hand. I love catching and sharing unexpected white cane moments to prove that people with sight loss can still do what they love. They may just do it a bit differently. #RockTheCane #NavigatingBlindness #ThrivingBlind #BeachDay #Surf #Skim #BlindAthlete #blindness #RetinitisPigmentosa

Today Kai and his TVI did a cooking lesson at school. They made delicious pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. She also hand crafted a set of measuring cups and spoons for his use and sent them home. I’m so thankful for her help and guidance in our lives. Next I’ll have to hit her up to solve his issue with mess making lol. Today I found melted Junior Mints in his bed! And a full on blueberry handprint on the freezer door. 😂🤷‍♀️ #Braille #Blindness #SightLoss #Blind #Awareness #Advocacy #Humor #Teacher #TVI #NavigatingBlindness #RP #RetinitisPigmentosa #LegallyBlind #Accessibility #AltText

Hi friends, I thought I’d take a minute to introduce our family. As you know we are stronger when navigating blindness together. It takes our whole crew to brainstorm creative solutions and to lift each other up when things are hard. Mostly, we make the best of each moment and laugh a lot. @chris1owens /daddy-o is a high school teacher. He loves to hunt sharks teeth and rides a scooter. @kimaowens/mom is a blogger. She’s learning to transcribe Braille. She loves to swim, paint and meditate. She’s also an #AutoImmuneWarrior. @geo_cash_ /big bro is a college student who is months away from being an employed geologist! He loves to rock climb and ride his bike. He is the master of “brothers trips.” @kai.owens / lil bro is a legally blind, mainstreamed high school student. He is a metal drummer and a sponsored skimboarder. It is so nice to be connected. Tell us a bit about you. #Braille #Blindness #SightLoss #Blind #Awareness #Advocacy #TVI #NavigatingBlindness
