Accessibility in Design for Blindness and Low Vision

 

Much of the built environment is accessed visually. What is the experience of people who are blind or low vision, and how can we make the built environment more accessible to them? There are few requirements for accessibility that address blindness and low vision, but there is plenty more we can do. Sometimes, the accessible features that help those who are blind or low vision are seamless and virtually unnoticeable to the untrained eye. These seamless solutions create accessibility without detracting from the visual experience of the building.
