I am sending across a survey for my doctoral thesis that would take 15 min. I would like to request you and anyone else you can refer to respond to my study about the perceptions and understandings of employees or coworkers with disabilities. This survey is slightly detailed because there is hardly any research on this subject in India, and it is important to carry out an in depth examination of the subject before conclusions can be drawn. This is my first survey through 4+years of FPM and is more detailed than what an MBA project would involve. The purpose of this survey is to understand how one feels in interaction with disabled persons and to identify from policy perspective the factors that play a role in the employability of persons with disabilities across various industries. We are also trying to understand (1) the characteristics of persons with disabling conditions, that could act as barriers to their progress, (2) the concerns of and challenges faced by organizations if they have to hire someone with a disability, or when an employee might get disabled due to different reasons. The survey section is part of a larger study on the formulation and implementation of The National Policy for Persons with Disabilities in India. The study covers governance in this sector, health and rehabilitation for the disabled, their education and employment. Would be very grateful if you can respond to this survey at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1enY-BquafFBxXkvZQKvpG9l1N481EgTezqMOR3TyAn 0/viewform https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1enY-BquafFBxXkvZQKvpG9l1N481EgTezqMOR3TyAn0 /viewform and forward this link to friends, online groups of your college, ex-colleagues, family, relatives (anyone who would respond) outside IIMC, for a wider cross section of respondent sample https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bksrlhF9fBmoeTxVrXIY5QeLqmlE_RQ4u0Ap1wix0c A/viewform https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bksrlhF9fBmoeTxVrXIY5QeLqmlE_RQ4u0Ap1wix0cA /viewform For clarifications, feedback, questions, and inputs that go beyond this survey, please email me at this id or mailto:divvyab2...@email.iimcal.ac.in divvyab2...@email.iimcal.ac.in I could also forward a copy of the questionnaire in Word format, if you would like to respond that way or circulate it.

Re: [AI] Announcing the AI convention dates
Hi all, 1. As others have said, leave the technology to techshare. 2. Blind sports. We need to include not only playing sports but also sports appreciation. For example, I have not fully understood how blind people follow cricket. Yes, there is the commentary but as far as I know, that gives you partial information. 3. Sex, dating, relationships, divorce, making wills, buying a house, renting (if that is a problem) when you are blind. 4. self-defense. This is not only martial arts but also maintaining situational awareness, using weapons at hand and not freezing in attack situations. 5. Entrepreneurship: selling to the sighted market. (Find a blind entrepreneur who sells to the sighted and get him or her to speak on how it is done.) 6. Disaster preparedness and the blind. What do you do if a cyclone, flood or other natural disaster strikes the area in which you are staying? You may want to add coping with fires and fire drills. 7. We could try and get someone from world access for the blind to talk and train on echo location. Yes, I know this did not work the last time but that does not mean that history will repeat itself. 8. How about a session on cooking when you are blind? 9. Do we have any blind models? If so, it would be interesting to hear from them.

Re: [AI] Blind Beggars in Bangalore
Hi Srikanth, I in no way implied that blind people should just be given higher salaries. They have to perform. There is a problem here. They are not qualified to earn higher salaries and are probably not interested in acquiring those qualifications. The way I see the issue working is something like this. 1. Determine the salaries at which beggars will find it more lucrative to work. 2. Map that to qualifications. 3. Launch programs to train said beggers for qualifications which will earn them their desired salaries. I doubt this will address the core issue but it could provide guidance for NGOs dealing with this to run relevant training programs. snip When I look at performance, blind people cannot even do 1/third work of a regular sited employee.

Re: [AI] Announcing the AI convention dates
Yes, Pranav Sir does have an interesting list. Out of his list I would too love if you had a session on sports [please explain in minute detail the method of playing both indoor and outdoor games[. I also liked the idea of you having some echo location expert demonstrate the technique telling the advantages of echo location over mobility with the white cane. Please could you have a video or audio recording of the convention for individuals like me who cannot attend? Regards Bhavya Also, Haresh Sir please couldn't you reply to so many suggestions that members are giving so that we can get a rough idea of what would be included in the convention?

Subject: Re: [AI] Announcing the AI convention dates Hi all, 1. As others have said, leave the technology to techshare. 2. Blind sports. We need to include not only playing sports but also sports appreciation. For example, I have not fully understood how blind people follow cricket. Yes, there is the commentary but as far as I know, that gives you partial information. 3. Sex, dating, relationships, divorce, making wills, buying a house, renting (if that is a problem) when you are blind. 4. self-defense. This is not only martial arts but also maintaining situational awareness, using weapons at hand and not freezing in attack situations. 5. Entrepreneurship: selling to the sighted market. (Find a blind entrepreneur who sells to the sighted and get him or her to speak on how it is done.) 6. Disaster preparedness and the blind. What do you do if a cyclone, flood or other natural disaster strikes the area in which you are staying? You may want to add coping with fires and fire drills. 7. We could try and get someone from world access for the blind to talk and train on echo location. Yes, I know this did not work the last time but that does not mean that history will repeat itself. 8. How about a session on cooking when you are blind? 9. Do we have any blind models? If so, it would be interesting to hear from them.

Re: [AI] Blind Beggars in Bangalore
Dear Pranavji, Yes I do agree with you to design programs for blind beggars but I am not sure whether they will like it since there potential salaries will be much lower than their daily begging income. Of course, employment comes with higher status and dignity but I doubt they care. In answer to your quote: We assigned multiple tasks which are below. Let me tell you that we are a packaging company specialized in corrugated and solid board packaging. We are a moderately bigger company. 1: counting. As we are in to retail and consumer product packaging, we made them to count10, 25, 50 and 100 boxes after they are made, tie a bundle and transport them. Blind people completely failed in both counting and tying or sealing a bundle of boxes and packing them to be transported. We trained blind people for so many days but still they cannot tie a bundle and also counting is inaccurate. For example, when we checked after these people performed the job, each bundle either had 6 or 7 extra or less. This will not only spoil our name with our prestigious customers who include farma, food and other retail industries but also make us lose our income. Already paper industry has sleek margins. My aim is to provide employment to uneducated and partially educated disabled people who is not limited to blind but I guess they don't understand our efforts. I can save 40% of our profits if I employ sited or nondisabled people but profits are secondary for us. Another area is responsibility. Based on my experience, blind people will never take lead or responsibility in doing the work. Unless we continuously tell them to do the regular work, they will not start doing the regular assigned work. For example our work day starts at 9 AM. I went to office late at 11 and ask why are you just sitting without work? My blind employees reply: sir, you did not tell us anything. Are we still waiting for someone to tell us our work or take lead in asking? When I compare my nondisabled employees, they come to work, ask us about what has to be done and they will get to work. So why not blind people do the same? This is because they are lazy. And want free money. When we go in to competitive market for selling our brand, no one cares whether you are employing disabled or nondisabled people but customers only care high quality and cheaper pricing. But I believe these people do not understand that. Another area of concern is discipline. I never see my nondisabled people taking frequent leaves without intimation but blind people do all the time. They don't care to inform us if they are not coming. They show many silly reasons like have to go to hostile to collect free things like soap and paste even after getting married and not living in hostel's or go to collect pension and what not. They also site: I have to take my blind wife to her previous hostel to collect free stuff I don't understand why government hostels provide free things when they are working and not living in the hostels. We as entrepreneurs expect people to come to work when they sign up and we plan accordingly. I lost my credibility with my customers due to delay in delivering orders because of their inefficient work and also irregular and late attendance. If we ask them why you are delayed, blind people say: my mother is not well to put me on the bus If blind people do like this, when are we going to get inclusive opportunities? When are we going to prove that we are also the contributors of our economy and need social status? I guess NGO's have to figure this out. Problem for employment is accommodation. Blind people expect us to provide employment and also free accommodation. Is this demand possible? Maybe NGO's should figure how to help overcome this. Guys, please remember, we have ample opportunities if we can prove. Before blaming the society for not giving us the opportunity, we have to understand the root cause of the problem which lies with us. For example, I can recruit more than 30 disabled people if any NGO can identify and train them in basic skills and we can train about our work roles. Let me remind you all that we all were very much upset when the chief of NIVH Chennai spoke negatively about blind people. I do understand that given his role, duties and exposure, he can't talk in a public setting butsome of his comments are actually right. I believe you all know this and at least your heart says so. For example, if once we help blind people out of our way, they expect the same thing every day in the work or outside work. If out of sympathy, I don't cut salary for late attendance for one month, they continuously repeat the same thing and expect us to not cut the salary. They never try to be independent. Another thing is demanding nature. I see this all the time. Blind people demand for extra privileges just because they are blind not qualified enough. Think about it. If blind people want, there is nothing we can't achieve. We
[AI] sharing Window7TaskBarPinner, a very tiny but accessible and time saving tool
Hi my dear friends, this is only for window7 users. Did you ever think to pin any song to the TaskBar which you want to enjoy again and again on just one click? Yes, you are opening your internetExplorer pressing window+1, you may be using window+2 to open firefox! but?!? when you have to listen to your favourite song which you have put into the subFolder called MyFavourites under the main folder called MyMusic which is located in E drive of your computer so, what would you do nowadays. obviously you are doing the following process: 1. Opening run Dialogue Box. 2. typing in there E: to open the E drive. 3. after pressing enter key, you might be looking for the folder named MyMusic? 4. in that folder you search for the sub folder named MyFavourites! 5. then in that subfolder you find your favourite song which you like to listen to again and again, and there you press enter to play that one? Imagine! if these above 5 steps you can jump with in just one command like you press window+1 or window+2 that you do for launching your browsers, then? it is possible just through one trick that you pin the song to the taskBar with this open source and very tiny software. It is also accessible for us. Note: Not just your favourite music!, with this tool you can also pin any folder, subfolder, any word file, text file to the taskBar which you access frequently. Download from here: http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/taskbarpinner/v1.1/TaskbarPinner%20v1.1.exe Above you read my words but, below you can follow two original articles. So, for now!, it's bye from my side. Best regards to elders and warm regards to my fellow and youngers. Shyam *** Getting easier access to a Windows 7 shortcut is extremely easy: right-click, select Pin to taskbar, and an icon will pop up on your taskbar, ready for immediate use. Right-click a file, though -- or a folder, a drive, a Control Panel applet or just about anything else -- and you’ll find no Pin option. There are various manual workarounds you can apply, but your life will be much simpler if you grab a copy of Taskbar Pinner, which allows you to fill the taskbar with just about anything you like. The program arrives as a tiny (236KB) download. Unzip this and launch either the 32 or 64-bit Taskbar Pinner, depending on your version of Windows. (Or if you’re not sure, just pick one, and the program will tell you if you need to use the other.) The Taskbar Pinner interface looks much like a regular Windows 7 dialog, and it’s very straightforward. You have four options -- Pin a File, Pin a Folder, Pin a Shell Location and Pin a Library -- and all you have to do is click one, choose whatever it is you’d like to pin, and you’re done. Probably the most interesting option here is Pin a Shell Location, as this gives you access to all kinds of system features (not just your own folders). So you can pin Control Panel applets, Windows Help, the Recycle Bin, Windows Search, the Run box and more. Whatever you select can be removed in the usual way, just by right-clicking and selecting the Unpin option. And if you think you’ll use Taskbar Pinner a lot, then checking the Explorer context menu allows you to access it from Explorer, or the desktop, without needing to manually launch the program first. To pin a file, folder or drive to the taskbar, say, you’d just right-click them, select Pin with Taskbar and the shortcut will be added right away.

Re: [AI] Blind Beggars in Banglore
and on the other side, we have to discourage the beggars so that their earnings from begging gets reduced so as to force them out of begging. I am not against your opinion of offering higher base salary. but, in the existing situation, where it is very difficult for even a sighted person to get a job with Rs. 1 to 15000, it may not always be practically feasible. it is disheartening to hear those beggars saying they are not willing to work for such salaries. that is why I don't encourage any beggar even if he is blind by giving money. according to me, begging should be less profitable for any person than any other productive job. otherwise, those other jobs loose supply of labour under the competitive assumptions and in the absence of barriers to labour mobility. it should be little less than meager subsistence level so that these people don't spend earning out of their begging for bad habits; and they are ready to work for a subsistence earning.

[AI] NyTimes: Adrienne Asch, Bioethicist and Pioneer in Disability Studies, Dies at 67
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/23/nyregion/adrienne-asch-bioethicist-and-pioneer-in-disability-studies-dies-at-67.html?partner=rssamp;emc=rss Adrienne Asch, an internationally known bioethicist who opposed the use of prenatal testing and abortion to select children free of disabilities, a stance informed partly by her own experience of blindness, died on Tuesday at her home in Manhattan. She was 67. The cause was cancer, said Randi Stein, a longtime friend. At her death, Professor Asch was the director of the Center for Ethics and the Edward and Robin Milstein professor of bioethics at Yeshiva University in Manhattan. She also held professorships in epidemiology and population health and in family and social medicine at Yeshiva’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine. “She certainly was one of the pioneers in disability studies,” Eva Feder Kittay, a distinguished professor of philosophy at Stony Brook University and a scholarly colleague of Professor Asch’s, said in an interview. “She was a very strong voice, always bringing in the disability perspective, trying to change the view of disability as some tragedy that happens to someone, rather than just another feature and fact about human existence.” Professor Asch, who was trained as a philosopher, social worker, social psychologist and clinical psychotherapist, produced scholarship that stood at the nexus of bioethics, disability studies, reproductive rights and feminist theory. She maintained that the lives of disabled women should be as much a feminist concern as those of able-bodied ones. Disabled women, she argued, had long been doubly marginalized: first because of their sex, and again because they failed to conform to a collective physical ideal — an ideal to which at least some able-bodied feminists subscribed. Professor Asch’s scholarship centered in particular on issues of reproduction and the family. In an age of fast-moving reproductive technologies, she found that those concerns dovetailed increasingly with issues of disability rights. She became widely known for opposing prenatal testing as a means of detecting disabilities, and abortion as a means of selecting babies without them. Professor Asch supported a woman’s right to abortion. (She was a past board member of the organization now known as Naral Pro-Choice America.) But in her lectures, writings and television and radio appearances, she argued against its use to pre-empt the birth of disabled children. She argued likewise for prenatal testing. For her, supporting abortion in general while opposing it in particular circumstances posed little ideological conflict. The crux of the matter, she argued, lay in the difference between a woman who seeks an abortion because she does not want to be pregnant and one who seeks an abortion because she does not want a disabled child. In the first case, Professor Kittay explained, “you’re not seeking to abort ‘this particular child.’ ” In the second, she said, “when you’re seeking to abort because of disability, it’s not ‘any potential child,’ it’s this child, with these particular characteristics.” Adrienne Valerie Asch was born in New York City on Sept. 17, 1946. A premature baby, she lost her vision to retinopathy in her first weeks. When she was a girl, her family moved to New Jersey, then one of the few states that let blind children attend school with their sighted peers. She attended public schools in Ramsey, in Bergen County. On graduating from Swarthmore College with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy in 1969, she found employers unwilling to hire her — an experience, her associates said, that made her keenly aware of disability as a civil rights issue. After receiving a master’s degree in social work from Columbia in 1973, she spent much of the ’70s and ’80s working for the New York State Division of Human Rights, where she investigated employment discrimination cases, including those involving disability. Trained as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in the 1980s, she maintained a private psychotherapy practice throughout that decade. In 1992, she received a Ph.D. in social psychology from Columbia. Before joining the Yeshiva faculty, Professor Asch taught at the Boston University School of Social Work and at Wellesley College, where she was a professor of women’s studies and the Henry R. Luce Professor in biology, ethics and the politics of human reproduction. Her publications include two volumes of which she was a co-editor: “Women With Disabilities: Essays in Psychology, Culture, and Politics” (1988, with Michelle Fine) and “Prenatal Testing and Disability Rights” (2000, with Erik Parens). A resident of the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Professor Asch is survived by a brother, Carl, and a sister, Susan Campbell. In an article in The American Journal of Public Health in 1999, Professor Asch laid out her philosophy in no uncertain terms. “If public health espouses goals of social justice and equality for people with

Re: [AI] Blind Beggars in Bangalore
Dear Shrikant I am happy to see your enlightened approach in engaging blind persons in your work force. Firstly, where is your set up so that local organisation can pick up job orders from you. Coming to your areas of concerns: I think from all the tasks you have described, it can be done well by blind persons. Moreover it does not demand education skills. I suppose, you need to take extra care in selecting persons. Folks who keep hopping from one training establishment to another would not be ideal candidates. At the time of recruitment, it should be candidly told that thereshall be no nonsense approach and no milage will be given for their disability. They will be given the tasks that they can do and they have to necessarily perform. There shall also be no compromise in the quality of work. It is also necessary to be on guard, that they are not being bullied by their able bodied co-workers. Moreover, positive strokes also need to be given for good job and they are made responsible for the job done. They should be made to feel wanted here and motivation for them to come to work. Monetary gains is indeed a good motivator, however non monetary factors also keeps the motivation sustained. Get to talk to them direct and dig from them what is troubling them I am sure you will find better results. Do also try to get in touch with equal opportunity employers. If they can get success, then surely you too can. Harish Kotian -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Srikanth Bolla Sent: 25 November 2013 02:06 To: 'Pranav Lal'; 'AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.' Subject: Re: [AI] Blind Beggars in Bangalore Dear Pranavji, Yes I do agree with you to design programs for blind beggars but I am not sure whether they will like it since there potential salaries will be much lower than their daily begging income. Of course, employment comes with higher status and dignity but I doubt they care. In answer to your quote: We assigned multiple tasks which are below. Let me tell you that we are a packaging company specialized in corrugated and solid board packaging. We are a moderately bigger company. 1: counting. As we are in to retail and consumer product packaging, we made them to count10, 25, 50 and 100 boxes after they are made, tie a bundle and transport them. Blind people completely failed in both counting and tying or sealing a bundle of boxes and packing them to be transported. We trained blind people for so many days but still they cannot tie a bundle and also counting is inaccurate. For example, when we checked after these people performed the job, each bundle either had 6 or 7 extra or less. This will not only spoil our name with our prestigious customers who include farma, food and other retail industries but also make us lose our income. Already paper industry has sleek margins. My aim is to provide employment to uneducated and partially educated disabled people who is not limited to blind but I guess they don't understand our efforts. I can save 40% of our profits if I employ sited or nondisabled people but profits are secondary for us. Another area is responsibility. Based on my experience, blind people will never take lead or responsibility in doing the work. Unless we continuously tell them to do the regular work, they will not start doing the regular assigned work. For example our work day starts at 9 AM. I went to office late at 11 and ask why are you just sitting without work? My blind employees reply: sir, you did not tell us anything. Are we still waiting for someone to tell us our work or take lead in asking? When I compare my nondisabled employees, they come to work, ask us about what has to be done and they will get to work. So why not blind people do the same? This is because they are lazy. And want free money. When we go in to competitive market for selling our brand, no one cares whether you are employing disabled or nondisabled people but customers only care high quality and cheaper pricing. But I believe these people do not understand that. Another area of concern is discipline. I never see my nondisabled people taking frequent leaves without intimation but blind people do all the time. They don't care to inform us if they are not coming. They show many silly reasons like have to go to hostile to collect free things like soap and paste even after getting married and not living in hostel's or go to collect pension and what not. They also site: I have to take my blind wife to her previous hostel to collect free stuff I don't understand why government hostels provide free things when they are working and not living in the hostels. We as entrepreneurs expect people to come to work when they sign up and we plan accordingly. I lost my credibility with my customers due to delay in delivering orders because of their inefficient work and

[AI] NYTimes Editorial: How to Do Right by the Disabled
A version of this editorial appears in print on November 25, 2013, on page A22 of the New York edition with the headline: How to Do Right by the Disabled http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/25/opinion/how-to-do-right-by-the-disabled.html?partner=rssemc=rssutm_medium=App.netutm_source=PourOver About a year ago the Senate fell five votes short of ratifying an international treaty that would improve protections for the disabled. It was an ignoble spectacle as the opponents rebuffed Bob Dole, a former colleague and disabled veteran, who came to the Senate floor to lobby for it. The Senate now has a chance to redeem itself. .Senator Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has revived the treaty, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities. He has held two hearings and plans a committee vote perhaps next month. Unanimous approval leading to quick Senate ratification is warranted; 138 other countries have ratified the treaty. The United States is the leader in promoting the rights of people with disabilities because of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. But projecting that globally has been hampered by the failure to ratify the U.N. convention in the four years since President Obama signed it. As Secretary of State John Kerry said last week, when the treaty countries gather to discuss accessibility and employment standards for people with disabilities, “we’ve been excluded because we’re not a party to the treaty.” Practically, that means America is weakened in its ability to press for fire alarms with flashing lights so people who are deaf will know when there is an emergency or for sidewalks with curb cuts for people in wheelchairs. Such advocacy does not just benefit foreigners. Disabled Americans would find it easier to travel, study and live abroad if the United States could win improved conditions. Previously, a right-wing fringe defeated the treaty with the absurd claims that it “crushes” American sovereignty and leads to bureaucrats’ taking disabled children from their parents. It was always hard to take such nonsense seriously. Now, with a growing number of veterans groups and corporations backing the treaty, perhaps the Senate naysayers can be persuaded to do what’s right. -- Avinash Shahi M.Phil Research Scholar Centre for The Study of Law and Governance Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi India Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Preparation for Chartered Accountants: guidance needed.
Hello Amar All the course materials issued by ICAI is also available in its website in PDF format. In papers like accounting, cost and management accounting, etc, which involve a lot of numericals, one has to device his/her own strategy to understand the question, and present the solution in the prescribed format. Assistive technologies are not permisible in ICAI examinations and a scribe can be used. Co-ordination with the scribe is a must for solving the numerical questions. Recently highcourt of Delhi had given a ruling to ICAI to maintain its own scribe list. This again is very ambiguous as one will not have much of an interaction with the scribe before examinations. There are classes available in all major cities and he/her can talk to them for help in understanding of the concepts. Another major challenge in CA is getting articleship training under a good CA. This is must and really adds value to the knowledge of an individual. Finally, as a qualified CA, there are hardly anydody amongst us VIs, who is into practice. All of us are actually into employment. Getting a job in area of interest is also a challenging task, considering the accessability of Talley, SAP and other tax related softwares. You can also contact me off the list for any help.

[AI] A Survey for Disabled Students
Hi All, I hope this message finds you well. Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access (IDIA) is conducting 2 surveys to determine the main problems that are faced by disabled college students in India. The first survey is for all those disabled students who are studying in any of the National Law Universities, and the 2nd one is for all other disabled college students. After figuring out what the most prominent challenges for disabled students are, IDIA will take up this matter with the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India. As Helen Keller once rightly said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” So, I would earnestly like to urge you to fill this survey with utmost sincerity and to circulate it among your disabled friends. The link to the first survey is: https:// www.surveymonkey .com/s/W3FM3MF The link to the 2nd survey is: https:// www.surveymonkey .com/s/2HTZZ6m Best, Rahul Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
