Not my favourite place to be: Airport challenges

I truly believe that based on the rapidly changing landscape of security at airports, airport challenges for persons with disabilities are only going to grow.  It is something for us all to accept.

For the most part, almost everyone finds airport challenges something that they would prefer not to have to deal with, so just imagine how much more difficult it would be for someone with a disability.

For me, as a vision-impaired person, I believe that these challenges are only going to multiply as time marches on.  People try their best, for the most part, but there are always going to be those who simply do not have the patience, those who are very much unaware, and a strong minority who may not care.

Half Empty or Half Full

This is one of the questions that I constantly continue to ask myself and I guess that if I am a positive person as I usually am, I would say that the glass is half full.  However, there are many other blind persons who would take the opposite opinion.

 

For me, the glass is half full because despite my challenges I still somehow manage to come out on top and I have so many things to be thankful for.  For my parents, family, and friends; plus my undying ability to dream, create, and try.  Most of all, my deep and unshakeable faith in God.  For others, the glass is half empty because there is so much that they have to deal with; a disability, no family close by, and not too many friends.  In addition, many blind persons also have to deal with secondary and even tertiary challenges. 

 

More and more blind persons are having to deal with such things as loss of hearing, physical disabilities, plus so much more.  No wonder they find it difficult to see the glass as half full.  We all need to work together to change this and I am asking you to help spread the word.

 

I'm Donna J. Jodhan your friendly accessibility advocate wishing you a terrific day and asking you to go out there and help spread the word that blind persons often have to face additional challenges in addition to their loss of sight.  Visit www.nfb.org or www.acb.org to learn more.
