What Can She See? Cortical Blindness - Cortical Visual Impairment
Jessica was born blind. She was diagnosed with cortical blindness related to a congenital malformation of her brain. Much of her occipital lobe is missing. Jessica's cortical visual impairment is hard to explain to others, especially since she is not able to describe it to us. As her family and having lived with her for 36 years, we have a good understanding of what she can and can't see. My hope is that sharing moments with these comparisons of what she can and cannot see will help others understand her better.
Welcome to our page! We are an atypical family dedicated to sharing a joyful life alongside things like autism, blindness, complex medical histories, and mental health disorders. We hope to take some of the mystery out of what it is like when special needs children grow into special needs adults. This life can be good. Beyond challenges and frustrations we find even more joy, entertainment, laughs and good times.
