In this episode I chat with Stephanie Duesing, author of the book Eyeless Mind, about her discovery that her son, Sebastian, had been living with undetected CVI for 15 years, and was almost completely blind.

We discuss the difference between ocular blindness and cerebral/cortical blindness, the event that led Stephanie to discover her son’s CVI, and how he processes sight with words, the importance of mobility and orientation skills to help navigate the world, and the challenges the Duesing family endured in trying to receive a diagnosis for Sebastian’s condition.

Contact Stephanie Duesing through her website, or on social media.
