This week on program 538 of New Horizons, we hear from Dr Frederick Schroeder who is the president of the World Blind Union. We were pleased to host him at last year’s Blind Citizens Australia convention. In part 1 of a two-part series, we hear the first part of his keynote speech, given on the Saturday morning of the convention. Hear from Fred, his views on blindness and how society’s expectations impact people who are blind or vision
impaired.
