Sweet Opportunities for Success

I was invited to give a keynote address recently for the Association of Vision Rehabilitation Therapists (AVRT).

I couldn’t resist linking the theme with my ingredients to create a ‘happiness pie to help with managing vision loss.

Listen here for the bitter and sweet of vision loss.

  • Hi Maribel, loved your speech so true when I think back through my life, I have RP as well and because I haven’t loss my sight over night it has been bit by bit since the age of five I am always adjusting to what’s happening now
    I was lucky enough to be sent to Vision Australia or [The Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind] many years ago for training for a job and basic home duties
    but in my late 20’s I started really struggling with my mobility and so had to give myself a good talking to and so got in touch with Guide dogs and have never looked back, but it was a big step for me

    anyway just wanted to say I really enjoyed your speech and would like to catch up with you next year for a phone chat as I am taking a big step next year with a project to teach vision impaired/ blind people the very basics of cooking via U/Tube
    I have been working on this project for 3 years now and we are to the next stage that is of filming in the near future

    best wishes Liz Symons

  • Great to meet you here, Liz. Thank you for your kind comments too. I love how we are living in a small world, sharing similarities…please do get in touch, look forward to hearing about your sweet project for next year! Maribel
