Stephanie Duesing shares Eyeless Mind, a true story about what we as individuals and as a society choose to see or not see, and the power of the arts to heal.
Stephanie Duesing is a former music teacher who made a major medical discovery in the field of visual neuroplasticity. Her book "Eyeless Mind: A Memoir About Seeing and Being Seen" is the true story of that discovery and the horrific medical malpractice and abuse she and her son Sebastian experienced trying to get a diagnosis for a common visual impairment. Stephanie advocates for the rights of all people who have CVI (Cortical/Cerebral Visual Impairment) to have a prompt, accurate diagnosis from a competent, local physician; access to appropriate multisensory educational and habilitative services and agency and independence in making educational and habilitative decisions as much as possible.
