BLIND IN BUSINESS - PARENTS WORKSHOP VIDEO SERIES



When Blind in Business hosted a Parents Workshop in December 2012, it was filmed in order to make sure those who couldn't attend the event, were able to benefit from our role models' insight as young visually impaired people.

Our five candidates talked about education, disclosure, technology, and coping with social situations and confidence.
