After a summer break, AT Banter is back—and Rob Mineault and Steve Barclay kick things off with cruise talk, comeback-show jitters, and a lively conversation with Libby Thaw, creator of the Checkered Eye symbol. Libby shares her journey with Stargardt’s disease and explains why she created a simple way for people with low vision to let others know they may need a little understanding. They explore what the symbol means, how it can complement (but not replace) a white cane for traffic safety, and why public awareness of vision as a spectrum matters. They also chat about the project’s long road to recognition, the challenges of getting media attention, and how listeners can help spread the word.
