Meet an “Amazing” Who Lets Nothing Stop Her Inventive Dynamism

Barbara Beskind, legally blind at 92, is an internationally recognized pioneer in the field of occupational therapy. She started working for IDEO, a high-tech innovative design and consulting firm at age 89! She developed such astonishing products as glasses for macular degeneration sufferers, an alternative walker with vertical grips to promote good posture and maintain alternative arm-leg movements, and ski poles

adapted to preserve good balance and gait patterns for people with vision and mobility problems.

Before that, Barbara served for 20 years in the Armed Forces, retiring as a Major in 1966, after which she
founded the Princeton Center for Learning Disorders, the first independent private practice in occupational therapy in the U.S.
