Description



Rachel Bennett is an Assistant Director at the CVI Center at Perkins, where she leads CVINow.org and parent advocacy and support. As parent to Henry, who has CVI and other disabilities, she knows the duality that comes with being a disability parent—feeling overwhelming love and, at the same time, grief and pain. In 2020, Rachel completed UMass Boston’s CVI Certificate program. Before joining Perkins, Rachel was a special educator and secondary instructional specialist in Maryland. Rachel joins us for this month’s podcast conversation to discuss her perspective both as parent of a child with a visual disability and advocate for other families of children diagnosed with Cortical/Cerebral Visual Impairment.
