[Mdpobc] Hello and introduction

[Jessica N Hernandez]

Hello-

I am new to the list and wanted to introduce myself. I am the mother of a 3
year old girl named Isabella. We live in Rockville, MD and recently moved
here from AZ. Bella was born with PHPV,  and does not have vision in her
right eye. Her left eye is healthy and she wears glasses. Bella previously
wore a shell in her right eye, but we've put it on hold until she starts
kindergarten. She previously required OT and PT b/c of Torticollis and
limited use of her right arm, but no longer needs it at this time. She's not
currently involved in early intervention b/c she no longer has delays in any
developmental areas. However, I'm interested in looking into O & M services
through Montgomery County Public Schools. Bella also has ongoing hearing
issues, and had ear surgery #4 yesterday afternoon.

I'm interested in connecting with other families in the area for play dates.
I'd also appreciate any information regarding experiences using MCPS' Vision
Services, and referrals to disability sports opportunities for preschool
children.

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to participating on this listserv.

Cheers,

Jessica
