I'm
sorry to make such a generalization. I realize that everyone has different
needs and assistive technology must be customized to fit the needs of the
individual. However, libraries must try to accommodate several types
of needs, rather it be for visual impairment, audio difficulties, or
mobility issues. I am trying to get a better idea of how libraries are
addressing these different needs. I didn't want to focus on one
disability, but rather get suggestions from the group on how their library is
becoming more accessible to their diverse populations. "those with
disabilities" is a very general term. Is there a better way to delineate
diverse populations, without having to list all of them individually?
Thanks,
Rose

Which disabilities? It is difficult to see us as a
generic group. Our needs are so different.
