Every person we meet has a different battle, some of which are obvious and some of which are not. That’s why being kind and respectful are so important in every situation. Understanding and compassion can make a big difference for people with challenges.
Inspiring Strength
People with disabilities aren’t looking for extra help or sympathy. Instead, their strength and ability to change often inspire us. We can show real respect by learning about the problems they face.
Effects of Not Being Able to See
It can be hard to imagine losing your eyes. Still, a lot of people get around in the world with little or no vision. Their strength is amazing.
Using technology to break down barriers
Tec-Innovation, an Australian company, has made InnoMake shoes to help people who are blind or have low vision. With their high-tech sensors, these shoes can tell when they come across an obstacle and will vibrate or make noise to let the user know.
