In this episode, Robin and Jillian Benoit discuss Jillian's story and what has transpired since the book Jillian's Story was published in 2010. They share why they are passionate supporters of the Infant See program.

You'll hear how Jillian hid her amblyopia (also called lazy eye) which is a disorder in which the brain fails to process inputs from one eye, resulting in decreased vision in that eye. (thanks Wikipedia). Jillian shares examples of how she coped with the disorder and how life is different since vision therapy brought her normal vision. Robin and Jillian tell their experience as well those of others they have impacted.
