The employer of a person who is blind or visually impaired might need to make accommodations that would minimize or eliminate workplace barriers. In doing so, you have the opportunity to maximize that person's productivity. These accommodations must be reasonable in cost and implementation, taking into account the practical and economic dynamics of your worksite. In many cases the employee will know what accommodations they need, and may have in fact provided their own. But, if that is not the case, a number of resources and professionals are available to help.
Every employee, worksite, and situation is different. With that in mind, the American Foundation for the Blind has provided you with ideas and information you might find useful. In trying to cover every resource, strategy, legality, tax credit, and technology AFB can imagine, it is important to note that this is a transition period you and your employee are dealing with what may seem to be an overwhelming amount of information. However, in time, the accommodation will become familiar and seem a logical addition to the workplace.
