New members join each month.
Qualified persons are considered members when they send in a membership form. Network members include not only adults with achromatopsia and families in which there are children or teens with achromatopsia but also quite a few grandparents and other relatives of persons with achromatopsia. These are individuals who are involved in providing services or products to the visually impaired and who have expressed a special interest in our network through correpondence, obtaining network books and newsletters, and other ways. Within this network there is great diversity in backgrounds, as well as diversity in the choices that people have made regarding how to cope with achromatopsia. Also, in keeping with recent research findings which show that there is a wide range of visual functioning among persons diagnosed with achromatopsia, our networkers report a wide range of differences in terms of their level of vision impairment and visual functioning.
