Excellent resource for parents of children with visual impairments

Every so often I come across a resource that's a real find. Today I wanted to share with you a website that has a wealth of information for parents of children with visual impairments and multiple disabilities.
Here you'll find news, resources, advice, and info - all in one spot! You could spend literally hours exploring everything here.
The creators of the website say 'We started WonderBaby.org as a way to share with others what we've learned about playing with and teaching a blind and disabled baby." They save countless parents from having to re-invent the wheel with their comprehensive Book List, the section on "Learning About the Eye," the selection of articles on development and parenting, and up-to-date news items on medical advances in areas like stem cell research and growing corneas. There's even a list of recommended products, including best high chair, best stroller, best travel crib, best car seat, etc.
If your child has a visual impairment, check out this site and share with other parents, too. You may even want to submit your own article in the parent submissions section!
