[Nfbf-l] Social Security

[Joanne]

To clear this up.  I was talking about adaptive equipment to read such 
things.  I read envelopes and so forth with my scanner.  And as far as the 
Web Site I am talking about adaptive equipment to read everything on the 
screen.  Like I said before, if the sighted world and the hearing world and 
other people who don't have a disability don't need changes for us, but we 
need changes for us as visually impaired, hearing impaired, and other 
disabilities in order to be an equal part in society.
All the disabilities put together compared to the so call normal world is 
still the minority.
