The visit in public space and diagnosis of problems
Introduction
The main problem of people touched by this disability is that they have big difficulties to find their way. So we had to try to step into their shoes to understand their special needs.
We noticed that in Sweden it seems that much more care is put into making accessibility easier.
It is also true in small towns like Hällefors.
Remark: The Blinds National Organization in Sweden come once a year to control installations, shops just to see if there's improvements to be made.
