"Resnick was a concert pianist, and trained as a teacher, but as a blind woman was barred from employment in the New York City public schools. She taught music to blind students and gave recitals in New York,[6] and was active on stage as an actress with the Lighthouse Players.[7][8][9] She moved to California in the 1930s, after visiting San Francisco to compete in a national piano competition.[10] She played piano in clubs and on radio during and after World War II.[5][11] She gave school and community presentations combining musical performance and demonstrations with her guide dog, Ilsa.[12][13]
After founding Recreation for the Blind[14] and running a few summer camps at other locations in the late 1940s,[15][16] Resnick bought land and, with Nina Brandt,[17][18] became co-founder and co-director of the Enchanted Hills Camp in Napa County in 1950.[19][20] "When children play in groups, it's natural to bridge that gap between the sighted world and the world of the blind," she explained in 1949.[21] She left active directorship of the camp in 1961.[11]
Resnick was founder and executive director of the California League of the Handicapped in San Francisco from 1961 to 1991.[11][22] In 1965 she helped establish the Garden of Fragrance at Golden Gate Park, a multi-sensory park experience with blind signage. She started a library of audiotape materials for California prisoners with reading disabilities.[5] Resnick's programs merged with the San Francisco Association for the Blind to become the San Francisco LightHouse for the Blind,[23] and eventually the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired.[5]" - wikipedia
