Last week was so enriching. We got to meet two people who are helping shape Sripathi's life.
1. Karin Duffy, the program coordinator at DARS Division of Blind Services. She is herself blind from birth due to a recessive gene. She came home to learn more about Sripathi's needs. She gave her two cents on what else i could try with Sripathi apart from what i learn from his TVI. Also she strongly recommended meeting with Dr.Roman.
And so we did go ahead and get an appointment with her in December and also a backup in April, just in case we are unable to travel. (I'm already shivering thinking about how cold it will be up there in Pittsburgh during winter.)
2. We got to meet the John Bramblitt. I was so excited after reading about him and watching his videos. We did learn a lot from his session at the Dallas museum of Arts. I have to thank the TVI Ms.Cynthia Carter for inviting us for the events.
John was so glad that we as parents are getting Sripathi involved in the world of painting at a young age. He was so happy that he gave us his card and told us to call him anytime we need further assistance. Here we are almost equipped to continue Art therapy for Sripathi.
3. We got to meet the two gorgeous guide dogs Aurora and Echo. Both of them help Karin and John.
Truly amazing experience! I cannot thank them enough.
