Here comes another survey. I completed it, and the only weird thing about it is the question repeats itself when you’re looking at the first choice. Really…really…annoying. But other than that, it was a pretty simple survey.
I could be wrong, but I think the people doing the survey don’t quite understand blind folks and mobility aids. They don’t seem to understand that over your lifetime of travelling, you may have used different mobility aids. Thankfully, they seem to have big text boxes where I can write and explain it all. I wrote a few creative responses. I hope they enjoy them.
Anyway, here’s their snippet. It appears you only have to be 18 and legally blind.
