In this episode, we're joined by Katie Walsh, author of Eyes for All, an educational booklet designed to help schools better support students with visual impairments.
Drawing on her own experiences as a visually impaired student, Katie discusses the barriers that can exist within mainstream education and the changes that can make learning more accessible and inclusive for everyone. Through her book, she has created a practical guide for teachers, school leaders, and students, helping to raise awareness and improve understanding of visual impairment in educational settings.
Expect to learn about the realities of navigating education with a visual impairment, the importance of listening to student voice, and how small changes can have a significant impact on inclusion, participation, and belonging.
We really enjoyed this conversation with Katie and gaining insight into how lived experience can drive meaningful change in education. Her story is a powerful reminder that some of the most important innovations come directly from the learners themselves.
