Sue is a confident person but she does get nervous when she knows that people depend on her. She’s been asked to participate in a project as second in charge and she accepted with the understanding that if her vision worsens, she may not be able to continue. So let’s offer a…
Sue & her husband are on a cruise, a trip that she set up faster than normal so she didn’t have a lot of time to do research. So while she’s sunning on the top deck of the ship (wearing her good sunglasses, of course), you can read about cruises for those with visual impairments. ::smile::

Another phishing attempt did not ‘catch’ Sue and she shares tips with us so we don’t get caught. She also talks about optimism and shares thoughts from Dan Roberts “Roberts emphasized there being so much reason for optimism with all the tools and medical breakthroughs.” Sue says “Know someone without knowledge? Someone without hope? Give him…

Sue has a number of devices to help her with various tasks at work. She has depended on her CCTV. It died and so she is…
Without her CCTV, Sue had to find some other way to read articles. She’s written about the app NaturalReader in the past that converts text-to-speech. It read to her an article that says “The article suggests doctors are not proactive enough in the early stages of the disease [AMD].” NaturalReader does a great job most of the time but sometimes it can be…
