[nfb-talk] Bingo and Americans with Disabilities Act?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Blind Mice Mega Mal sells braille bingo cards and I am not sure, but the NFB store, might.  She could buy a few, so she could play a few cards at a time and also change cards she plays.  The Blind Mice cards have a slider for closing the box, when marking the number, so you do not have to use chips.

Easy fix would be to purchase a braille bingo card and bring it with.  This is, if they are using the standard bingo cards.

This might depend on what kind of facility this is happening at.  The ADA only applies to "public places" so if it is a church, or private club, it might not apply.
