Explorers Appreciation Letter from Maryam

This parent expresses gratitude for the resources they've received, and the tips on how to help their son safely learn new kitchen and cooking skills.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the DSB team, particularly Sara Logston and Natalie Banks.

We live in a small remote town and are homeschooling our son with Cerebral Visual Impairment. The DSB team has done a phenomenal job putting together a great mix of in-person and virtual events that allow families like mine to access vision resources and form connections with other families impacted by vision impairments and blindness. In particular, their recent speaker from Blind Kitchen was very helpful to our family.

My son had expressed an interest in cooking, but we were hesitant to get him started due to safety concerns. Your guest speaker gave us very good tips and helped us procure some tools that he can safely use in the kitchen. We are very grateful for all your guest speakers and events, and we hope that DSB can expand and bring us many more wonderful programs.
