Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] My complaint about CSUN Conference On Disability that I posted on both my and the CSUN Conference Facebook page
Not sure about percentages of braille users or relevance to this discussion but, here's a question: Were there braille displays being shown at CSUN?
Also, was the web site populated with a program, an agenda, an exhibitors' list and the like?
This used to be a production of the State University system in California, is that still true?
I've found that accessibility for the totally blind has decreased especially in situations where the term "visually impaired" is used instead of or in conjunction with the word Blind. Just an opinion...
