In Touch

Available for over a year

Peter White is back from Kenya after taking part in this year's Comic Relief campaign. He reports on the work of eye clinics run by Sightsavers International and discusses the stigma of blindness in Kenya. Lee Kumutat checks out a new website which offers style advice for blind and partially sighted fashionistas. And what exactly constitutes special educational needs for a visually impaired child? We'll hear the outcome from one In Touch listener who took his local educational authority to tribunal over his daughter's schooling.
