There are two other lists you may want to pose this request to for
their involvement/feedback in your project.  One is the ADA-LAW list,
which deals with accommodations for the disabled and the enforcement
of the Americans with Disabilities Act.  There are a number of blind
individuals on the list who can probably provide feedback, and you can
inquire as to the needs of other types of PWD (People with
Disabilities) as to some of the other concerns you have addressed.

Secondly, you may also want to make inquiries from members of the
Freechat list.  Freechat is one I joined because it was advertised
pretty much that "any topic goes" and could be a good forum to discuss
some of the political and sociological concerns for which I have an
interest and are not appropriate on some of the other lists to which I
am subscribed.

It is not advertised as being so, but I was quite pleased to learn
that a volume of my listmates on freechat are blind.  Their eyes may
not work as well as yours or mine, but they have some truly sharp
minds.

You may be able to get some of the answers you seek from some of those
listmates.

Instructions for enrollment in either list can be found by following
the links below:
