A company that designs and sells adaptive footwear with zippers that go around the entire shoe, making them easier to put on and take off.

Billy Footwear

Fashion. Function. Inclusion for all.  

BILLY Footwear changes the game by making shoes easy to put on and take off like never before.  No more stuffing your feet into shoes.  Step in, and enjoy the unmatched convenience.

As a teenager, Seattle native Billy Price suffered a spinal cord injury and became paralyzed from the chest down, losing the ability to move his fingers. Daily tasks became difficult, but using his creative mind and unyielding spirit, he never gave up. He continued on, facing life's challenges with tenacity and determination. 

Born out of a need, BILLY Footwear was founded on the principle of inclusion and perseverance. We strive to add value to the lives of others and make a measurable difference in the world, one foot at a time.

In this episode of Open Book, we hear from Rachel Bennett, Director of CVI Now. "Our goal is to help you understand CVI, share the lived experiences of people with CVI, follow and share the current research, give everyday strategies, and build community."

Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is a brain-based visual impairment caused by damage to the visual pathways or visual processing areas of the brain.

CVI is alarmingly underdiagnosed and misunderstood. Less than 20% of children with CVI have been diagnosed, according to new research conducted by Perkins School for the Blind with analysis from McKinsey & Company.

Every individual with CVI, no matter their zip code or how their CVI manifests, has a right to early diagnosis, comprehensive, effective vision services, and accessible educational programs.

CVI Now is here to empower families and professionals with deep and evolving CVI knowledge, resources, and tools rooted in current research and the lived experiences of people with CVI.
