Description of CE Program/Activity
 You probably have heard the term albino referring to a person with very light skin and hair. But, did you know that people with albinism almost always have some degree of uncorrectable low vision? Do you know what it is like to live with albinism?

Join Seminars@Hadley for a 60 minute discussion all about albinism. Senior Vice President Dawn Turco will question a panel of experts on several aspects of the condition including; the genetics of albinism, the low vision associated with albinism, prominent psycho-social issues people with albinism and parents of children with albinism face, educating a child with albinism, and discussion about myths and misconceptions about albinism.
