Ableism and the Blind

This blog has been created by University of Texas at Austin, School of Social Work students. The views that may be expressed in this blog are not necessarily the views shared by the University. Our class is Foundations of Social Justice: Values, Diversity, Power and Oppression.
We have created this blog in order to discuss the discrimination that exists against people with disabilities, specifically the blind. In this age of technology we need to ensure that our fellow blind citizens also get to enjoy the ease and benefits that modern technology brings the rest of us. Please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions, insights or research and join us in exploring this topic in hopes to find a better solution for everyone. *Please remember to keep all posts clean and professional*
Thank you.
