I have never done an Open Space for Blind People. but I have done many OS's with some or many blind people. And as near as I could tell, they did just fine. Their own coping skills worked, and the community pitched in (with a nice subtlety) - so I never saw or heard of a problem. But I did get one comment from a person of challenged vision. who thanked me for not making him a special, stand out person. just one more people. Needless to say it was not me doing/not doing anything. But you get the drift. Unless somebody has suddenly gone blind, they do make it in the world, and with the light touch of a caring community (and what else do you have in OS?), everything seemed to work out just fine.

I saw posts about supporting 1 blind person, but they will have at least seven and I don't think they'll have enough volunteers to support one helper each. So they are thinking about some kind of ipad readers around the session postings. How has the community here provided accessibility to the blind, especially for the schedule wall? Thanks in Advance!
