It is an transcript of interview with Charlotte where she has been asked her opinion about school. I can just imagine this conversation unfolding and. Her answers are so adorable! What I feel about my class. I like it because it is higher and closer to Year 1.". I like them because they are fun and they play games with me.". I can do this .

Achromatopsia Blog - parenting a child with achromatopsia (nystagmus, cone dystrophy, colourblindness and low vision). Wednesday, 17 September 2014. Charlotte has had an evaluation for a white cane. I set it up because I want her to have access to all the tools that she might need but I think I was also hoping that the verdict would be: "She's fine, she doesn't need a cane.". Not so, she does qualify. Will this make her less physically adventurous? What about riding a bike, or going for a run? But it was...

Achromatopsia Blog - parenting a child with achromatopsia (nystagmus, cone dystrophy, colourblindness and low vision). Sunday, 10 November 2013. I hope all the achromats in England had a good time at Bonfire Night this week. We took Charlotte to her first firework display and it was so gratifying to watch her sweet little face lit up by the fireworks as she looked up and took in the display. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Achromatopsia Blog - parenting a child with achromatopsia (nystagmus, cone dystrophy, colourblindness and low vision). Friday, 24 May 2013. Charlotte has a new teaching assistant assigned to her. She will be there 4 days a week which is what the statement funding will cover. It will be great to see how she makes progress in the classroom with a bit of extra support. On a practical level, I briefed the new teacher by giving her a copy of the incredibly helpful Teachers Guide to Helping a Student with Achr...

Achromatopsia Blog - parenting a child with achromatopsia (nystagmus, cone dystrophy, colourblindness and low vision). Friday, 7 December 2012. University College London have a page covering their genetic research for retinal diseases. They have updated for Achromatopsia CNGB3 and it looks like they are planning on moving forward with a clinical trial. I am not certain if this is the same one as Moorfields are doing.

Achromatopsia Blog - parenting a child with achromatopsia (nystagmus, cone dystrophy, colourblindness and low vision). Wednesday, 23 January 2013. I really wanted to go over there and ask him all about his monocular: where he got it, when he started using one, how it helps him, etc. But it would have been inappropriate so I didn't.

Achromatopsia Blog - parenting a child with achromatopsia (nystagmus, cone dystrophy, colourblindness and low vision). Friday, 14 February 2014. Gene Therapy in The Economist. I always find it exciting when I see an article on gene therapy in The Economist. Yes, they like to report on new technology early, but they are also not going to risk their reputation on reporting unpromising studies or research. The article, Gene Therapy: Ingenious, fixing a body's broken genes is becoming possible. Nystagmus....

Achromatopsia Blog - parenting a child with achromatopsia (nystagmus, cone dystrophy, colourblindness and low vision). Friday, 25 October 2013. I'm constantly amazed, and humbled, by the generosity of the NHS. If Charlotte needs it, she gets it. We were back at Great Ormond Street Hospital this week for an appointment for magnification devices and visual aids. I had been expecting that we would purchase these for her, but they were all freely given. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How exhausting woul...
