Article about blind justice does injustice to the blind.
I’d be the first to laud the many accomplishments of Richard Bernstein,
scion of the law firm that bears his father’s name. But, the article
(LSJ, Dec. 29) leaves the implication that only a super-blind person
possessive of extraordinary drive and powers of photographic memory can
be successful.
This is unfortunate! Under/unemployment amongst the blind is over 70
percent! I know many other successful blind people who are members of
management in the private or governmental sectors.
As a blind individual with over 20 years in human resource management
and now doing computer tech support, there is a lot of technology that
makes you as productive as any other employee. If documents are
accessible, you can read much faster using assistive technology than
you can with an aide. I can use any Microsoft Office program well
enough to function in an office environment, writing memoranda as well
as email exchanges and managing a work-group calendar. It is important
readers understand there are capable productive individuals who aren’t
“super-blind.”
