Sanna menetti kuulonsa lapsena ja sokeutui kaksikymppisenä – kertoo nyt, miksi ei halunnut näköä palauttavaa leikkausta

Sanna Paasonen, 45, menetti lapsena kuulonsa, nuorena aikuisena myös näkönsä. Harvinaisesta sairaudesta huolimatta hän toteutti unelmansa ja opiskeli opettajaksi.

I'm visiting the #USA for the #CSUNATC25 conference. Buying coffee, I got the perfect #coin in change for a #blindness / #accessibility related conference: a 2003 Alabama quarter featuring Helen Keller.

This was the first US circulating coin to feature a representation of Braille (there was a non-circulating 1996 Paralympics coin).

A little on Helen Keller from Wikipedia: "American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old.

Keller attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first deafblind person in the United States to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree."

I generally post about #Disability, #MCAS, #EhlersDanlosSyndrome, #EDS, and #Celiac.

Due to EDS, I use a #PowerChair.

I also enjoy #Writing and #Reading. I will occasionally mention when one of my books are free on Amazon. If you need a copy, please let me know.

I am #DeafBlind, and write about #Accessibility.

Things I miss: Gardening, Sewing, Crafting, Crocheting, Cooking, Baking, Knitting, Walking, Hiking, Exploring.

Photos are rare, as words are easier to use to explain concepts.

#esittely

Olen jyväskyläläinen kuurosokea ja kahden CODA-lapsen äiti. Puhun suomea ja toinen äidinkieleni on suomalainen viittomakieli. Käytän päivittäin valkoista keppiä ja minulla on käytössä sisäkorvaistutteet ja viiton myös taktiilisti, eli kädestä käteen. Minulla on Usherin oireyhtymä, tyyppi 3.

Tykkään neulontajutuista, juoda hyvää teetä, katsella hyviä TV-sarjoja ja elokuvia. Pelaan tietokoneella Genshin Impactia ja Nintendolla Animal Crossingia.

Lisäksi voit bongata meikän #pulina-kanavalta IRCstä.

PS. En osaa braillea.
