Institutes of Health to monitor their progress advising companies how to modify existing and new test kits to be more usable by everyone with disabilities. Some of our members are now directly working with these companies and the NIH as subject-matter experts
in nonvisual and low-vision accessibility. This survey presents an opportunity to bolster our work in demonstrating that the blind will accept nothing less than full, independent, and private access to our healthcare.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
