Julie Ann recently joined Charlotte from VICTA on the launch episode of the VICTA Parent Voice podcast, sharing her journey as mum to Dexter and her experiences raising a child with a vision impairment.

​

In this heartfelt conversation, they discuss the challenges, joys and everyday adventures of family life, and the vital role parents play in supporting blind and partially sighted children.

​

Julie Ann also shares how their family’s journey with Dexter led to the creation of Scruffy the Uffy and inspired Dexter to write his own books — turning lived experience into stories and characters designed to empower, represent and encourage children with additional needs.
