This message is a call to action for everybody who reads it. There are over 22 million blind Americans, in my state alone Texas has a Vision Impaired population of over 702,000. And that number is exponentially larger when we include those who deal with some type of vision impairment. The survey below is an unprecedented effort that has brought together both industry and organizations dedicated to working with and for those with vision impairments. Organizations like the NFB, ACB and AFB, companies like Aira, Vispero, Humanware and Be My Eyes to name a few have joined forces in gathering information that will assist everyone as they navigate these difficult times. While the organizations and companies named above deal with many in that community the reality is that only with your assistance can we make this an inclusive effort and fully represent the experience of all who are impacted. This information shared via this survey will assist in the crafting of legislation, the creation of business plans and strategies. If you are among those in my community or know someone who is, please take this survey and share with your networks. The goal is to reach ALL of those who the system may not be considering. Please follow the link below, read the instructions and disclaimers and understand that privacy, your privacy, will be respected. Thank you and please email me if you have questions.
