Seminars @ Hadley Presents: All About Albinism

Date: Friday, January 21, 2011

Time:  11:00 a.m. CST, 17:00 GMT

You probably have heard the term ‘albino’ referring to a person with very light

skin and hair. But, did you know that people with albinism almost always have

some degree of uncorrectable low vision? Do you know what it is like to live

with albinism?

Join Seminars at Hadley for a 60 minute discussion all about albinism.  Senior

Vice President Dawn Turco will question a panel of experts on several aspects

of the condition including; the genetics of albinism, the low vision associated

with albinism, prominent psycho-social issues people with albinism and parents

of children with albinism face and educating a child with albinism. The panel

will also address the myths and misconceptions about albinism and talk about

NOAH (National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation).

Panelists include Sheila Adamo, Chair of the NOAH Board of Directors (mother of

four, 11 year old son Joey has albinism), Murray Brilliant PhD, Director at the

Center for Human Genetics at the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, Susan

Dalton, M.S.Ed., CVRT, Transition Specialist (mother of two grown children with

albinism), Kelsey Thompson, immediate past Chair of the NOAH Board of Directors

(a person with albinism) and Michael McGowan, NOAH Executive Director (a person

with albinism).

As always, listening to the seminar remains free of charge. There is a US $25

fee associated with completing the seminar for credit (1 CE hour).
