Wright Family Picnic
Wow! What a day. Started at 8am and ended at 5:30. I attended the 3rd annual Wright family picnic raising money for the Autism Tree Project Foundation. I was a part of the resources section and had a booth decorated with important information on Autism and Vision. I feel that so many people do not truly understand the impact Vision can have on learning. It was my job today to make a difference and help educate the parents. It was wonderful to see all the children have such a great time. There were lots of activities, raffles to be won, faces to be painted, flowers to be planted and play dough to play with! Count me in for next year!! I will be back....... spreading the wonderful world of Vision and just being a part of a wonderful community. Thank you Autism Tree Project Foundation for allowing me to be able to share my knowledge and my passion!Maino's Memos

New Book!
The Publisher's Weekly review included, " The medical profession has believed that the visual center of the brain can't rewire itself after a critical cutoff point in a child's development, but in her 40's, with the help of optometric vision therapy, Barry showed that previously neglected neurons could be nudged back into action.
The author tells a poignant story of her gradual discovery of the shapes of flowers in a vase, snowflakes falling, even the folds in coats hanging on a peg. After Barry's story was written up in the NEW Yorker by Oliver Saks, she heard from any others who had successfully learned to correct their vision as adults, challanging accepted wisdom about the plasticity of the brain. Recommended for all readers who cheer stories with a triumph over seemingly insuperable odds."
