Boguslaw 'Bob' Marek
The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin
The whole conference was a great success and several presentations were real eye-openers. For me, reports on the situation in small countries (islands) in the region were particularly interesting. A lot has been done, and a lot is being done but there is still a lot to do.

I have experienced the SPEVI conference through the eyes and ears of someone who is healthily obsessed with Sonokids’ new Early Learning computer program Ballyland. Of course Ballyland’s free Beta version (www.ballyland.com) was officially launched during my presentation at the conference.

Parents of Vision Impairment NZ
