Beginning with a meeting in the fall of 1980 at a college Bible study, Meg Disney met a young man born blind. From this meeting, Meg, who is sighted, came a lifelong interest in helping the blind. She had already learned Signed Exact English (SEE) from attending a high school which mainstreamed students from throughout southeast Michigan.
By 1984, Meg had become a Certified Literary Braille Transcriber through the Library of Congress in the US. For a short time, she worked for a man, who had a Braille service. When that ended, she maintained her contact with Braille by subscribing to Braille Bible Lessons.
Meg married Jon in 1995, and their life together moved forward. Both seek to help those who struggle or are marginalized by struggles or disabilities.
After giving away her Braille lessons to a blind classmate at the local community college, she contacted the couple in England who was producing the lessons, to get a replacement issue.
Truevision Braille started in the summer of 2002. It began to continue the work of a couple from Brittan. They were no longer interested in producing specific church-based Braille materials. Learning that they wished to give up this work, Meg offered that she and her husband Jon would be willing to take over this endeavor. So, in the summer of 2002, Truevision Braille Service began.
They shipped materials from England, and even came to the US to help us get the business started. The name had been used by the British couple, however a local television shop used the same name. However, we were able to use it in the US. But being able to gain knowledge and learn truth is the best vision to have—whether physically sighted or not.
