[Nfbmt] apartment

[Bruce&Joy Breslauer]

There are ADA requirements that by law public facilities are supposed to
honor.  Private ones are a different matter.

I think blind and low vision services offices are supposed to help with this.
There are also catalogs where people can order sticky dots or Hi Marks or
whatever they need to mark things.

This might be a good place to refer your inquiries or those of your friends.

When living in an apartment,
I understand by law if you need to make accommodations to use the stove or
oven you can mark with dots or what you might like to use.
A friend of mine said her manager said this couldn't be done.
Is this one of the times when you go to national to get help for this to
happen?
When I was told this, I said that I would have to take it up with the
federation.
Suddenly I was able to mark what I needed to do to use the oven.
I also was told they didn't have to put in anything for the elevator to help
us out with numbers.
Suddenly it was done, as well as a bell would go off on each floor.
Now the seniors at the time didn't like this at all.
They felt they didn't need it.
How do I connect with the Evansville federation to see if I can help my
friends with back up?
Just giving them numbers to call.
I would let them decide how they wanted to handle the matter.
Thanks.
