Angelique Young
Angelique is the reason I started speaking on traumatic brain injury and CVI. She had a car accident in 2010 and was in a coma for four to five weeks. Because of the accident, she lost her vision due to brain damage. Some days she has a little tunnel vision, others she sees nothing at all. We had taken the Vision Resource Center youth surfing, and she was sitting down gazing out at the ocean, looking so intensely.
