Maybe I am wrong but I don’t believe that navigating in the dark is any different for sighted persons or blind persons. Maybe I could dare to say that a blind person may be better at navigating in the dark, and why? Because those of us who are totally blind do it all the time.
No matter whether we have sight or not, we face the same problems when navigating in the dark. Except whereas many blind persons do it as part of life, sighted persons only do it when they are either forced to or when circumstances go against them.
In the dark, we all grope our way around. We fumble, we bump into things, we knock things over, and we claw our way along the walls. We feel for familiar spots and things and we all have a feeling of uncertainty and discomfort. These are just some of my thoughts to share with you today.
I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and inviting you to go out there and share my blogs with others. Visit www.nfb.org to learn more.
