For me, Its very shocking to know that your boss is still faille to open his
mind blockage like many other sighted people. he is working with you and
might have observed many of your work capabilities in the Office, however,
he doesn't seems to be aware of abilities of Visually Challenged people?
You please sit with him again and endeavor to make him aware about how the
VI's are doing excellent work in many different streams worldwide. Suggest
him some website where he can be able to read out some success stories.
After this endeavor, it is not guarantied that he will be convinced and his
misconception about Visually Impaired would be ended over a night but, its
our responsibility to make the efforts.
In my opinion, you can follow the hierarchy and talk to the top management
in this regard while sending your nomination if things are not sorted out at
your boss level..
wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,

Subject: [AI] behaviour of my superior
Dear Friends--
I am writing to this list after a long time. I wish to tell you an
incident happened in my office , which shocked me.
Every year, a delegation goes from my office, C-DAC, to participate in
SuperComputing conference in USA. This year I put my self-nomination
for this. I am the most qualified and most senior person for the job.
But my boss called me for a one-to-one discussion and informed me that
it will be 'embarrasing' to send a person (VI) like me in . the
delegation. Because I will require someone's support and will hold
someone's hand. Also if some accident happens to me because of my
disability, he and office will be hold responsible for why they sent
such a person.
I was really shocked and upset with the behaviour. Then I withdrew my
nomination for participation in the conference.
Friends, I want to show you that how these learned so-called superiors
fail to understand the VI peoples aspirations and behave in such a
nonsense way.
Thanks for sharing my concerns.
