In this episode of 'Differently Abled', we gain a unique insight into the world of blindness through the personal experience of Rolf Geerling, Regional Client Services Manager at Vision Australia. Rolf, who is legally blind due to Stargardt's disease, a hereditary condition that causes the deterioration of central vision, shares his story and sheds light on what it's really like to live with blindness. He discusses the misconceptions surrounding blindness and provides advice on inclusive language and social etiquette when interacting with people who are blind. Through this interview, we hope to raise awareness and understanding of blindness, and provide insights into how we can create a more inclusive society for people with vision loss.
