"Visually Impaired" Controversy, Employment For Blind People & Tech Galore

In this episode, Steven and Shaun discuss the controversy surrounding the use of the term "visually impaired," and the different perspectives within the blind community. They explore the importance of language and how it can shape perceptions and attitudes towards blindness. They also discuss employment opportunities for people with disabilities and the challenges they face, and when they finally get round to talking tech, they chat about the Seleste smart glasses, the Beats Pill speaker, and accessible blood pressure monitors. There's also mention of the Blink video doorbell and an invite to listeners to share their experiences with accessible doorbells.Keep in touch by emailing us [email protected] or call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.
