Cathy engages in a heartfelt conversation with Tammy Miller, dedicated teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) and mother to Nicole, who received early intervention TVI services. Tammy shares her journey of navigating her daughter's visual impairment and how the support of TVIs like Cathy inspired her to pursue a career in the field. In this episode, we explore the pressing need for teachers of the visually impaired and we invite you to consider becoming a TVI!

Jenny and Paige further delve into the theme of caring for your mind, sharing practical insights for families. From pursuing higher education to integrating mindful practices into daily routines, they emphasize the importance of nurturing mental well-being. We hope this conversation inspires you to consider ways to care for your brain!

This episode is a follow up to Lola’s Story with Meredith Howell that was released on September 4th. If you have not listened to Lola’s story we recommend you listen to that episode before listening to this episode. Jenny interviews Rita DeVore. Rita is mother to Meredith and grandmother to Lola. Rita is also the Special Projects & Volunteer Coordinator at VIPS. Rita tells us about her relationship with Lola, how she supports her family and encourages other grandparents to get involved in the lives of their grandchildren no matter how difficult the situation. Dr. Cathy, Jenny & Paige reflect on the need families have for this special kind of support. Paige includes some great ideas on how to be involved with your grandchildren whether you live next door or across the country.

In Lola’s story Meredith discusses creating the NR2F1 Foundation with a group of other mothers. For more information on the NR2F1 Foundation visit their website: https://nr2f1.org/
