Talking Vision is Vision Australia's national radio program on blindness and low vision.

In the program for the week of October 20, we begin the series of conversations recorded at the Vision Australia Texpo 2014. Also, from a recent International White Cane day event, we have a catch-up with a highly achieving winter and summer paralympian. Vision Australia’s Texpo, showcasing technology and services for people who are blind or have low vision, was held this year in Melbourne on October 10 and 11 and in Sydney on October 17 and 18. Stephen Jolley attended the Melbourne event and spoke with exhibitors. This week, we concentrate on some easy to use phones and hear about products from the Australian Lions Visual Independence Foundation. Paralympian Jess Gallagher attended Vision Australia’s White Cane Day event in Melbourne’s Fed Square and took the time to speak with Stephen Jolley.

Program participants are:
  • Leon Cosher from Kisa, explaining the Kisa Phone;
  • Julie McDonnell from Oricom Phones;
  • Anne Eldridge from the Australian Lions Visual Independence Foundation;
  • Jessica Gallagher, Winter Paralympic dual bronze medallist.
Also this week, Frances Keyland from the Vision Australia Library previews a title in ‘Reader recommended.
