Hi, Good piece of info; and worth sharing. Me too liked the article. Further, I think unintentionally / unknowingly, some of us are encouraging this attitude in publice; or perhaps we are not doing enough to change public attitude. Even with regards to interacting with general public. I feel, along with public attitude towards blinds, our presentation to the general public is also need to undergo a drastic change. These are my personal views. Hope much elaberation is not needed.

The blind have remarkable talent in piano-tuning, weaving, >>>> wickerwork, and the like.

I call your attention to the selection on >>>> blindness appearing in another text in common use throughout the high >>>> schools of our nation. >>>> The blind may receive aid from the states and the federal government, >>>> if their families are not able to keep them from want. There are over >>>> one hundred institutions for the blind in the United States, many of >>>> which are supported wholly or partly by taxes.

As he put it, "Our work is >>>> very demanding. Carbons must be used and forms must be filled out. >>>> Speed is at a premium, and a great deal of work must be done each day. >>>> Then, there is fact that our typewriters are quite a ways from the >>>> bathroom, and we cannot afford to use the time of another girl to take >>>> the blind person to the toilet." >>>> At this stage I interrupted to tell him that during the past few years >>>> new travel techniques had been developed and that the girl I had in >>>> mind was quite expert in getting about, that she was able to go >>>> anywhere she wished with ease and independence. He came back with an >>>> interruption of his own. >>>> "Oh, I know what a wonderful job the blind do in traveling about and >>>> accomplishing things for themselves. You see I know a blind person. I >>>> know Miss X, and I know what a good traveler she is and how >>>> competent." I continued to try to persuade him, but I knew my case was >>>> lost. For, you see, I also know Miss X, and she is one of the poorest >>>> travelers and one of the most helpless blind people I have ever known. >>>> There is a common joke among many blind persons that she gets lost in >>>> her own bedroom, and I guess maybe she does. The man with whom I was >>>> talking was not being insincere; far from it. He thought that the >>>> ordinary blind person, by all reason and common sense, should be >>>> completely helpless and unable to travel at all. He thought that it >>>> was wonderful and remarkable that the woman he knew could do as well >>>> as she did. When compared with what he thought could normally be >>>> expected of the blind, her performance was outstanding. Therefore, >>>> when I told him that the person that I had in mind could travel >>>> independently, he thought that I meant the kind of travel he had seen >>>> from Miss X. We were using the same words, and we were both sincere, >>>> but our words meant different things to each of us. I tremble to think >>>> what he thought I meant by "good typing" and "all-around competence." >>>> When I go into a community to speak to a group and someone says to me, >>>> "Oh I know exactly what you mean; I know what blind people can do, >>>> because I know a blind person," I often cringe. I say to myself, "And >>>> what kind of blind person do you know?" >>>> This gives emphasis (if, indeed, emphasis is needed) to the constantly >>>> observed truth that all blind people are judged by one.

The blind man was, incidentally, fond of the bottle and >>>> was(after, no doubt, a great deal of soul searching on the part of the >>>> employer) fired. The employer still refuses to consider hiring another >>>> blind person. As he puts it, "They simply drink too much." >>>> Once I was attending a national convention made up largely of blind >>>> people, and a waitress in the hotel dining room said to me, "I just >>>> think it is wonderful how happy blind people are.

Blind >>>> people are about as happy and about as unhappy as anybody else." >>>> Not only is there a tendency to judge all blind people by one, but >>>> there is also a tendency to judge all blind people by the least >>>> effective and least competent members of the larger, sighted >>>> population. In other words, if it can't done by a person with sight, a >>>> "normal person," then, how can it possibly be done by a blind person? >>>> One of the best illustrations of this point that I have ever seen >>>> occurred some time ago when an attempt was being made to secure >>>> employment for a blind man in a corn oil factory.

The >>>> employer explained that since our last visit, one of his sighted >>>> employees had got his hand caught in the press, and the press had >>>> chewed it off.

After all it >>>> wasn't a blind man who had made the mistake. There is still another >>>> factor which makes it difficult to change the public attitudes about >>>> blindness.

This urge often expresses itself in charitable works and >>>> dedicated sincerity, but this does not mitigate its unhealthy nature >>>> or make it any less misguided or inappropriate. >>>> Such agencies are usually characterized by a great deal of talk about >>>> "professionalism" and by much high-flown jargon. They believe that >>>> blindness is more than the loss of eyesight; that it involves multiple >>>> and mysterious personality alterations. Many of them believe that the >>>> newly blinded person requires the assistance of a psychiatrist in >>>> making the adjustment to blindness, and, indeed, that the psychiatrist >>>> and psychotherapy should play an important part in the training >>>> programs for the blind. They believe that the blind are a dependent >>>> class and that the agencies must take care of them throughout their >>>> entire lives. But let some of these people speak for themselves. One >>>> agency administrator has said: "After he is once trained and placed, >>>> the average disabled person can fend for himself. In the case of the >>>> blind, it has been found necessary to set up a special state service >>>> agency which will supply them not only rehabilitation training but >>>> other services for the rest of their lives." The agencies "keep in >>>> constant contact with them as long as they live." >>>> This is not an isolated comment. An agency psychiatrist has this to >>>> say: "All visible deformities require special study. Blindness is a >>>> visible deformity and all blind persons follow a pattern of >>>> dependency." Or consider this by the author of a well-known book on >>>> blindness: "With many persons, there was an expectation in the >>>> establishment of the early schools . . . that the blind in general >>>> would thereby be rendered capable of earning their own support—a view >>>> that even at the present is shared in some quarters. It would have >>>> been much better if such a hope had never been entertained, or if it >>>> had existed in a greatly modified form. A limited acquaintance of a >>>> practical nature with the blind as a whole and their capabilities has >>>> usually been sufficient to demonstrate the weakness of this >>>> conception." 4 >>>> It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the foregoing quotations >>>> represent individual instances and not the total judgment of the >>>> agencies and organizations doing work with the blind. Opinions and >>>> approaches vary as much with the agencies as with the general public. >>>> I would merely make the point here that being a professional worker in >>>> the field does not insure one against the false notions and erroneous >>>> stereo-types which characterize the public at large. For that matter, >>>> being a blind person is no passport to infallibility either. Public >>>> attitudes about the blind too often become the attitudes of the blind. >>>> The blind are part of the general public. They tend to see themselves >>>> as others see them. They too often accept the public view of their >>>> limitations and thus do much to make those limitations a reality. >>>> There is probably not a single blind person in the world today >>>> (present company included) who has not sold himself short at one time >>>> or another. >>>> At one time in my life I ran a furniture shop, making and selling the >>>> furniture myself. I designed and put together tables, smoke stands, >>>> lamps, and similar items. I sawed and planed, drilled and measured, >>>> fitted and sanded. I did every single operation except the final >>>> finish work, the staining and varnishing. After all, as I thought, one >>>> must be reasonable and realistic. If anyone had come to me at that >>>> time and said that I was selling myself short, that I should not >>>> automatically assume that a blind person could not do varnishing, I >>>> think I would have resented it very much.
