The Echolocation Movement Gets Good Press on NBC News

Witnessing the evolution of a skill set that has the power to change people's lives so profoundly is a great feeling.  It's not often that such a wonderful new technology or revelation comes around that is able to do so much good for such a large body of people. The echolocation movement is just beginning now and I feel privileged to be a part of it.

Today this article and video was published on NBC's Today.com

This first stage of the echolocation movement will provide the opportunity for many people who have never heard of echolocation to become aware of it. This is a critical step in the success of echolocation, because in order for blind people to adopt the practice of it, it is important that they feel comfortable taking it on and know that they will not be looked upon strangely during their training and practice.

It will still take a long time for echolocation, or biosonar to become a household word, but this is a huge step in helping that transition.  Thank you to all the good folks at NBC for airing this and helping to progress this incredible field.
