Yes, they do have the same rights as everyone else. They have the right to purchase oranges with the skin on and use the stairs. They have no room to expect additional accommodation for their problems.
- jareds 11y agoAs a totally blind software developer I'm sure glad the entire world isn't as closed minded as you. Based on your statements I shouldn't have gotten Braille books as a child because they require more paper, higher transportation costs, and there for are less environmentally friendly then print books. Without them I would be illiterate and unable to hold down a job. While not everything can be made accessible to everyone in a reasonable fashion refusing to put forth any effort even if it interferes slightly with your life is not acceptable either.

- mchaver 11y agoIt looks like the Library of Congress has an appropriation of funds to help produce braille books and provide them to public libraries. I'm not sure if this is the most up-to-date information though. https://www.loc.gov/nls/pl89522.html https://www.loc.gov/nls/pl89522.html
