Pardon me?  I understood EASI was open to discussion of all
disabilities, although perhaps physical disability might be considered
a
justified limitation, given the scope of the mental disability field.
They deserve their own list.

The idea that this list is limited specifically to blindness is new to
me. I thought issues related to hearing loss were acceptable here, as
well.  If not, tell me, and I will get off the list.
