Marcela serves as the family representative on the Eyes On Learning Advisory Board. As mother to a deaf/blind child, she provides invaluable perspective on the needs and struggles of parents whose children have a visual impairment. She is an advocate for her daughter and other families facing the many, significant challenges of finding information and resources to support their children’s health and learning.
“As an accountant for over 25 years, I had not been involved with any advocacy programs until six years ago, when we got our amazing daughter, and were thrust into the world of IEPs and medical specialties. Finding resources has become a part-time job. Joining Eyes On Learning gives me hope that more parents will find a source of information that will help their children succeed.”
