Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

On this week’s show

"Back to School"

Three people talk about their experiences in the education system.

Vicky started at Townsend House School for Deaf and Blind Children in 1960. She talks about her experiences and the teachers that made the biggest difference to her.

Heidi and Sheryl attended the same school... sometime later. We hear how Townsend prepared them for life in the standard education system, or failed to do so.

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.
