About this deal

Jonathan Bryan has severe cerebral palsy, a condition that makes him incapable of voluntary movement or speech. However, there is a sense of admiration and wonder as you read through Jonathan's tale, realising the extent to which one) we take communication for granted and two) the depths in which an individual will take to be able to communicate efficiently.

For some time he was placed in a school for children with special educational needs, which did not provide the kind of mental stimulation that Jonathan needed and wanted.

It is the fascinating memoir of a twelve year old boy with cerebral palsy, written using only his eyes (hence the title).

In this chapter, Jonathan’s world is expanding through a 500-word story for BBC Radio 2, the writing of poetry, and holidays, along with the inevitable frustrations and setbacks. This site (and many others) provides a limited experience on unsupported browsers and not all functionality will work correctly or look its best. With the sibilance of the oxygen silenced, I inhaled deeply, the fresh air revitalising my new body and filling my soul with joy… the atmosphere was saturated in a deep, contented peace. but, as his mother and the one that spends the most time in his company, caring, feeding, nursing, educating and loving him with every fibre of my being, I know that there is more going on inside his head than anyone gives him credit for.

Before they started chatting again about the fate of the near obsolete folder that brimmed with many hours of their dedicated input, I opened up –ready for play to recommence.
