Critics Review
“Blindness for Beginners is not a comprehensive guide to your new life as a person with a visual impairment. It’s an introduction, an inspirational look at what is possible. As such, we highly recommend it for any newly blind individual or family member.”
Bill Holton, AccessWorld, the American Foundation for the Blind
“The most uplifting self-help book I’ve read this year. And the autobiographical anecdotes from Maribel’s life are the most inspiring part.”
Hazel Edwards OAM, Author, Patron: Society of Women Writers VIC
“An educational, informative and insightful book. It is encouraging reading for someone who is faced with the prospect of losing their sight later in life. I was inspired by Maribel and her journey.”
Trudy Firth, NDIS and Disability Educator
“I am so excited about this book for those who really need to share Maribel’s journey so that they can start their own on good footing with solid, heartfelt advice.”
Pris Rogers, Aging and Vision specialist USA
