Helping Jack find his path
Real stories
David and Sonia say they were “floored” when they discovered their son Jack had ocular albinism. They found out about his vision condition at eight weeks old and he had no vision at all until he was over one year old.
“As a parent you have all these hopes and wishes they’ll do what you do. But you find out very quickly that no kid does what you do, they all find their own paths in life.”
“The support [from Vision Australia] has been everything. Things like speech therapy and occupational therapy have made a huge difference.”
