Hi, This is an interesting topic. I assume that your presentation is targuiting sighted
employers and coligues? If so, then I would suggest a 4th issue, which actually should be the first. The issue is of productivity gains for the organisation on hiring visually challenged employees. In fact, this point is of extreme importance for all the visually challenged who give job interviews. To begin with, the 3 issues you have chosen to address should reflect one common theme: visually challenged do not require any drastic adjustment in the organisational processes. Even the adjustments that have to be made sometimes not only benefit VI's, but other employees as well. For example- Process: training should be given along with regular employees. Adjustment: While demonstrating use of a particular software, say MS Excel, the action being performed, and associated keyboard shortcuts should be announced by the trainer. This would also benefit the co-workers, since using keyboard shortcuts can perform the function faster than mouse clicks in some cases. The VI employee should be allowed to operate on a machine simultaneously to explore the accessibility of the software being demonstrated. This would not cause any disruption. You could give many more examples. I could go on and on, but the point I strived to make here is that as long as employers understand that hiring VI employees will not put additional cost burden on them, they would give it some consideration. In today's era of financial meltdown, cost reduction has become a primary concern.
