Hello, I am a new member of this listserv and hope to learn from other
members how I can best help my son who we've recently been told has
estimated vision of about 20/300 in his right eye due to optic nerve
atrophy. The left eye is pretty much nonfunctional because of the optic
nerve atrophy. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment by just going
through some of the pages on the website. My son also has fine motor, gross
motor, and speech delays caused by frequent surgery/anesthesia, frequent
hospitalization and being born with Apert syndrome. I look forward to
hopefully networking with other parents who can give us real world practical
advice.
