When it comes to determining how I choose to decide, my first rule of thumb is to accommodate. I am living in a predominantly sighted world and my challenge is to accommodate as much as I can. That is, without giving up my rights to certain basic things. Things such as: My right to privacy and confidentiality, my right to access to information, and my right to have my voice heard.
I am always prepared to accommodate the shortcomings of others. I am always ready to accommodate those persons who are challenged when dealing with a blind person for the first time and I am always willing to accommodate those who are either hesitant to or do not exactly know how to deal with a blind person.
It is all a matter of us teaching each other and learning from each other. It is all a matter of sharing, experiencing, and accommodating. It is all a matter of helping each other to accommodate and understand.
I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and inviting you to go out there and tell others. Visit www.sterlingcreations.ca to learn more about me.
