Tuesday Topics 20260505 – Blindness Nation part two.mp3


We will be continuing the discussion begun on our latest podcast concerning

the state of the blindness nation today and tomorrow. We have essentially finished painting what we think is a fairly accurate picture of how the blindness

system has changed over the last couple of decades and what some of the characteristics of the current system are.

We have begun to identify components of what we think might be a set of values that we should adopt moving forward. There is still a lot to say! If we

are to come up with priorities for the next decade we need to add to our list of absolutely necessary services and then try to do the much harder job of

staring ahead into an uncertain future. What will the constraints on services be like a decade from now? How much of the loss of Federal autonomy will

continue after this administration is over? What kind of success will people who are blind have selling a new paradigm of services to a country that may

not want to hear a word we say? What can or should we do to optimize outcomes ten years from now?
