How do sighted people respond when meeting someone who is blind for the first time? For some, it might be a bit of discomfort at feeling unsure of what to do or say. This week as part of our ongoing Blindness Awareness Month content, Shawn has invited some special guests to the podcast to have an open and honest conversation about their own experiences with encountering blindness for the first time. Ryan, Linda, Rob, and Emily join Shawn to discuss what the process is like for both people who are sighted and people who are blind.

Blind Beginnings’ mission is to inspire children and youth who are blind or partially sighted and their families through diverse programs, experiences, counseling and peer support, and opportunities to create fulfilling lives. Visit us online at www.blindbeginnings.ca to find out more!
