Disability Access Symbols
by Terri Ricci
Yes, there are many
ways persons with low vision can “see.” Below
is an article about Braille
for the Feet. What an ingenious way to
incorporate low technology into helping all people who walk into
the intersection of the street.
Our highlight for the Disability Access Symbols this month is Access
(Other Than Print or Braille) for Individuals Who Are Blind or Have
Low Vision. This symbol may be used to indicate access for people
who are blind or have low vision, including: a guided tour, a path
to a nature trail or a scent garden in a park; and a tactile tour
or a museum exhibition, that may be touched.
This innovative warning track will help all of us as we maneuver
the busy streets of our city.
If you have an interesting
article of how innovative products are being used to help a person
with a disability, please send them to access@accesspress.org.
I want to thank LaDrene Coyne in Redmond, Washington for sending us this article.
