I am delighted to say that my new book, The Psychology of Blindness and Visual Culture, was officially published today. It was almost 20 years since the beginning of the study for this book, so very pleased to see it in print! routledge.com/The-Psychology…

My new book chapter "Philosophical and pedagogical theories on the creative play of children with visual impairments" has been published in "Beyond the Visual" (UCL Press). The book can be downloaded for free in its entirety on this link: lnkd.in/e8S-GZ8s

@glensheader @Johnny_Ravo I am hoping they will create a copy. If they don't, I will make one and make it available.

@SimonHayhoe @Johnny_Ravo Well done. Is an audio version available or on the way?

@DrRafieCecilia Thank you, Rafie, and great to hear from you! :) @DrRafieCecilia I will send you a PDF if you like?

@SimonHayhoe Congratulations, Simon! Can't wait to read it

@glensheader @Johnny_Ravo Thank you, Glen! I am trying to persuade audio book producers to record it. I am donating a copy to BookShare, so hopefully they can develop this.

@bentleykarl Thanks, Karl. How are you? Great to hear from you.

@SimonHayhoe Well done Simon. 👍

@DrRafieCecilia Can you remind me of your email, Rafi. I'll email a copy! :) Hope all is well with you.

@Johnny_Ravo Thanks, mate! I'll send one up :)

@SimonHayhoe Congratulations can’t wait to get my hands on a copy brilliant

@nxcare Currently on National Express from Chippenham to London. Spent £6 reserving a seat. Coach came, we were told by driver no seat reservations. My young son and I are now in different parts of the coach - he is a child. Would like reservations refunded!

@bentleykarl Couldn't agree more, Karl! Spot on.

They really do need to ban folk from titles such as Professor unless they've actually done some peer reviewed research at that level. I know it's a job title rather than an academic level of achievment but imo it does demean it for those who have done the hard graft of research.

@Johnny_Ravo @CSUNCOD @Lego Hope you had fun. It's raining here!

Despite the 5000 participants i got the empty shot. Been an excellent conference presenting our research on LEGO Braille Bricks. @CSUNCOD @LEGO foundation.

Hi All, my son Nicholas and I are currently on the train to London to do the Twilight Walk for the Brain Tumour Charity. I hate to skin you for cash, but this is the link to our JustGiving page, if you could donate, we would be really grateful justgiving.com/page/simon-nic…

Just love Marta. I'll miss her so much in this game: bbc.co.uk/sport/av/footb…

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars

just starting off deaf-blind awareness week incredibly frustrated that people think it's acceptable to research us about us, looks like we have gone back to the old phrase 'nothing about us without us'

@JessicaHayton @EducationBATH @ucl Thanks, Jess!

@SimonHayhoe @EducationBATH @ucl Yippee! Can't wait to watch it again, it was amazing live!
