says happy birthday West Penn School for the Blind


We are happy to say that we were honored to meet Dr.Christine Roman-Lantzy and Dr. Alan Lantzy last week. Dr.Roman reviewed Sripathi's CVI Range and gave us valuable suggestions on intervention.

As part of the 125th anniversary of Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children we had the wonderful opportunity to attend the CVI visions of Change conference. We learned how to adapt our current intervention to be even more beneficial for our son. They had organized for lectures by Sandra Newcomb on how we can ensure our children get the right intervention when they go to school. A very moving, emotional and inspiring speech by Jeni Stepanek. Ofcourse a very informative lecture on Neuroplasticity by Dr. Al Lantzy.

I was also given a great opportunity to share this blog and all the intervention methods we are trying at home for Sripathi. So yes Little Idea Log was also part of the conference. And I’m so happy that I could share those moments with Aubri who represented Little Bear Sees. It was an honor to be featured in their book "Little Bear Sees" An amazing resource book on CVI for parents by parents. Please visit Amazon.com or Barns and Nobel’s for purchase a copy of this book.

Every day we learn to teach our child and everybody we meet in this journey has taught us something. So thanks to all. And especially for the past couple of days I want to thank Dr. Christine Roman and Ms. Beth Ramella for considering us and giving us this chance to be a part of such a significant event.
