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...
