[blindlaw] The Census does not track the blind

[Ben Karpilow]

I  also wondered about that . I'm not sure whether census information on 
blindness would have a   detrimental effect given the already existing 
sources   documenting  blindness  which are often necessary to establish 
protection under the ADA. Technically, the census only gathers statistical 
information unassociated with specifically named individuals.
