[BlindTlk] Inclusion of the Blind

[Judy Jones]

This is very general.

It is hard to give feedback without the particulars.

Greetings to all!

An organization that provides activities for people with disabilities has not seen much success in including the blind. They would like my recommendations for improving their inclusion of the Blind. I have my own list of obstacles but would like the input of others to learn what I am overlooking. 

I am legally blind and have sat out many visual activities, witnessed a dog injured and a cane broken by wheel chairs, and cognitively impaired people attempting to lead people who are blind. 

I would appreciate your input, either on the list or to paul at blindonline.org. If anyone has experienced a successful inclusion of disabilities, please send me your observations. If anyone can steer me toward research done on this topic, your help would also be sincerely appreciated.  Thank you!       Paul Weingartner
