    I am glad that BDO is here because it shows that being Bishea impaired is nothing to be afraid off and that in America in the state of Florida that there is people that are willing to help Bishea impaired people or people who are blind so thank you I really really love this video

    No I’m not in Florida but I’m in Springfield Missouri and I really think what your doing is a great thing.
    I was born with a condition called Retinopathy Of Prematurity and I can see, but I am limited so things like walking across a busy street honestly scares me.
    I'm 24 years old and in 2005 I was diagnosed with a autoimmune disease called Polyarticular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I also have an eye disease called Uveitis. I've also been treated for an Iritis.

      Honestly it's been so long I don't remember.
      But...........
      I had to have laser eye surgery after birth and my left eye doesn't look good. I have to go a retina specialist.
      I was born at 24 weeks early.

      When I was 11 years old and in fifth grade I was diagnosed with Polyarticular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is a genetic autoimmune disease that attacks my joints, eyes and heart and lungs and my immune system.

    Hi, I would like to know about good methods for designing sidewalks for blind people and solutions for their easy mobility on the streets. I thank you so much.

      +Edwin Caraballo thanks so much for reaching out. I would start here: accessforblind.org/detectable-warnings/. Please let us know if there is anything else with which we can provide you. Thanks again!

      +LighthouseCFL It's a great information. and what do you think about the blind lanes or tactile ground surface indicators on the sidewalks? can a person have a good mobility without walking on then? I mean.. is it better for blind people walking on a plane area or walking on these marked blocks on the street?

      Hello my name is Jordan Manny and I am visually impaired aired and I'm from Ireland if you want to make or create tactile lining for a visually impaired person I recommend having a railing or something that they can reach onto their hands and they know that they are using a tactile surface because it's the same thing on the bus won't you hold onto the bar you know you're walking in the lining and I think that will help I thought I give my advice here

      Great idea 💙💜
      Also a cited person complained about braille and this person said, braille is stupid because people could put dots on the floor and it would indicate the same thing.

      I was thinking about how stupid that comment was and I thought, blind people can't read with their toes.

    I’d get scared 😱 just trying to cross the street.
    But I have lots of disabilities not just vision impairments.

      Honestly most of the things a cited person does everyday, most of it scares me.
