The Evolution from Visually Challenged to Legally Blind

Join hosts Qualik Ford and Derique Simon for this month’s episode of Beyond Sight as they explore the journey of learning, growth, and self-understanding within the blind and low-vision community. With special guests sharing perspectives as both an individual who is blind and a parent of a child who is blind, the conversation dives into identity, access to resources, and the power of community. Together, they unpack what it means to move beyond labels, find belonging, and truly go Beyond Sight.
