When someone does not respond

One of the biggest challenges for me is when someone does not respond during a conversation with me. I have no idea as to whether they are listening, what body language they are using, their facial expressions, or gestures.

It makes me very uncomfortable when someone does not respond because now I have to use my sense of hearing and intuition to help me out. I cannot hear or see when someone shakes or nods their head. I cannot hear or see when they smile or frown, nor can I hear their gestures. So, please remember to respond when talking to a blind person!

I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and urging you to go out there and share my words with others.
