[Ohio-talk] Can other people's expectations of you change what you can do physically?

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hi Megan, 
It is about how people’s expectations change how blind people can do in life. The link is underneath Barbara’s message in David’s original post. 
Hope this helps.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
