Hi Colleagues, Our AFB research team is starting to take an early look at some of the responses we are getting from those taking the #JourneyForward survey. THE SURVEY CLOSES AT 11:59 PM MONDAY! We've heard from people who became more independent during the pandemic to those who felt no one was meeting their needs. When asked to share advice, they had a lot to say. A common thread is exemplified in this quote. "All emergency plans need to include a detailed disability accommodation plan which is informed by input from members of the local disability community. All emergency information needs to be provided in formats that are accessible to people with visual, hearing and cognitive impairments. Emergency planners must also accommodate people who don't drive or have access to private automobiles. Giving people with disabilities a lower priority for receiving medical care and other emergency services is utterly immoral." What do you think? Please take the survey if you are a VI U.S. adult. Share widely! https://www.afb.org/research-and-initiatives/flatten-inaccessibility-survey/journey-forward Penny *L.
