Rehab buys equipment for blind people at no cost to the blind people. If one has an employment goal, and equipment can be justified, then the state rehab agency buys and buys and buys.

What I'd like to see is a credit union or a financial program of some kind that would be non-govermental, possibly nonprofit which would either supply blind folks with the equipment they need, or would offer low-cost loans so that people could get their own equipment at a reduced rate. This foundation or organization would be endowed so that it would be self perpetuating. Frankly, I think that organizations of the blind which either spend their money on sponsoring mountain climbers or in internal bickering should quit doing both those things and make a collaborative, cooperative organization whose sole purpose would be to furnish people with computer equipment.
