Re: [AI] Sightless but not without vision, they inspire with their cameras
Please share the source URL? On 9/22/13, anil kumar artprat...@gmail.com wrote: TNN | Sep 21, 2013, 11.28 PM IST NEW DELHI: A photography exhibition questioning the conventional wisdom of 'vision' is currently on at the India International Centre featuring works by three international lensmen, all of whom, once sighted, are now completely blind. The display, titled 'Vision Unseen', showcases seemingly impossible photographs shot by Frenchman Evgen Bavcar, US national Flo Fox and Kuniaki Ito from Japan. I choose these three photographers because each of them has a completely distinct approach to overcoming their disability and taking a photo, said Rakesh Nagar, curator of the event. Whether it's through sound, touch, memory or verbal descriptions from others, each photographer manages to capture a scene without the benefit of sight. In the cases of Bavcar and Ito, blindness came as a result of physical accident while Fox lost her vision gradually to multiple sclerosis. The show was inaugurated on Thursday night by Pablo Bartholomew, recipient of the 2013 Padma Shri for his work in photojournalism. As shown tonight, the ability to see is not a necessity. Many times, the use of your other senses can create a more sensitive picture, said Bartholomew. Unfortunately, the artists were unable to attend the event though Ito's wife, Nanae Ito, could make it on her husband's behalf. My husband was always fond of photograph. He will listen to the surrounding sounds and I will describe a situation to him; then he'll click the camera, she said. In a written statement sent to the exhibition, Bavcar explains how the images are in his head, his mind is the gallery, and through his sense of touch he can organize aesthetic compositions. For Fox, her art is even more challenging as her condition has rendered her almost completely paralysed. Since I am now extremely disabled, other people have to shoot the way I explain, said Fox in her written statement. Ironically, before her vision deteriorated completely, her photos would show images clearer than the way she could see them. As in the recently-released film Ship of Theseus, where a visually-impaired photographer struggles to continue her art once her sight is restored, it seems that blindness can gift these individuals with a special vision manifested in their photos.Simply viewing the incredible photographs, it's easy to forget their producers lack the ability to see. Yet, their struggle no doubt makes their art that much more inspiring. As Ito noted in his written statement, Through my photos I want to convey that in people there are limitless possibilities, difficulty and hardship can always be overcome. When I can do it, so can they. The exhibition will stay open till September 29 and then become part of the upcoming Delhi Photo Festival. -- Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] Quandary of Hidden Disabilities: Conceal or Reveal?
By KATHERINE BOUTON New York Times Published: September 21, 2013 http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/22/business/quandary-of-hidden-disabilities-conceal-or-reveal.html?partner=rssemc=rsspagewanted=all A YOUNG woman with hearing loss wrote to me recently about being interviewed for a senior position in a major library system. She was well qualified for the job, and as her interviews progressed through the day, she sensed that she was about to be offered the job. Enlarge This Image Julia Yellow Then the top executives invited her to continue the discussion over drinks. The bar was noisy and she couldn’t keep up with the conversation. She didn’t get the job. The woman, who asked me not to use her name, is among those whom the Americans With Disabilities Act can have a hard time protecting: people with hidden disabilities. What should she have done? During the interview process she might have disclosed her hearing loss in a way that showed how effectively and creatively she compensated for it. When the drinks suggestion was made, she might have said: “I’d prefer we met in a quiet place so I could respond more easily. Would that be O.K.?” But the woman’s choice not to disclose her disability was understandable. In fact, Joyce Bender, who owns a search firm in Pittsburgh that helps place people with disabilities, says that revealing a disability in an interview should be avoided if possible. And it should not be mentioned on a résumé, she says, as doing so may mean never reaching the interview stage. Ms. Bender herself has epilepsy, a factor in her decision to focus the work of Bender Consulting Services on people with disabilities. “People with epilepsy have been viewed as mentally insane, degenerate, demonic or intellectually diminished,” she said. “Today the stigma for people with epilepsy is that you are strange, dangerous, weird and someone to avoid.” An employee is not required to disclose a disability after being hired, but may choose to do so. Someone with epilepsy may want to ensure that the employer will know how to deal with a seizure. A diabetic might need to be away from work for insulin shots. Someone with mental illness may need a flexible schedule to allow for psychiatrist visits. A recovering alcoholic or drug abuser might need time off to meet with a substance abuse support group. But it’s a hard decision to make: If you announce your condition, you risk being stigmatized; if you keep it a secret, you risk poor performance reviews or even being fired. AS someone who suffers from hearing loss, I understand this quandary all too well. When I was an editor at The New York Times, I was hesitant to discuss my condition. I told a few close colleagues about my disability, but I never explained how serious it was. Nor did I admit to myself how much it affected me professionally. Former colleagues have since told me that they sometimes thought I was aloof, or bored, or maybe burned out. The fault was mine, in not disclosing the disability and asking for accommodations. I could have asked for a captioned phone, for instance, which would have made my job much easier and reduced a lot of the stress. I could have used a hearing assistive device, a small FM receiver, to pick up voices at staff meetings. So why didn’t I say anything? I feared being perceived as old. For nearly three decades I tried to fake it, as my hearing loss worsened to the extent that I could barely manage in the workplace even with a hearing aid and a cochlear implant. My experience, and that of others, shows that invisible disabilities in the workplace may lead managers and colleagues to view employees as difficult, lazy or not team players. Most companies are in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, and many seek out employees with disabilities. But there are subtler, gray areas of discrimination, usually unintentional. These can start with the application process. Some big retail companies use prescreening tests with job applications that can exclude certain employees, said Jan Johnston-Tyler, founder and chief executive officer of EvoLibri, a company in Santa Clara, Calif., whose services include job placement for people with disabilities. One of Ms. Johnston-Tyler’s clients, a 25-year-old with Asperger’s syndrome, applied for a position at Subway. While most of the online application was routine, the last step was a multiple choice questionnaire. One of the 60 questions was, “Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out how I am supposed to behave around others.” Most of us would check off the “disagree” option, but as Ms. Johnston-Tyler pointed out, many people with Asperger’s “are generally honest to a fault.” She contacted Subway’s corporate parent and was told that her client could fill out a different application without social suitability questions. The interview process can be another minefield, as the woman who wrote to me about the library position found. And once people with hidden disabilities

[AI] feeling any paper form without sighted assistance is possible?
Respected friends, As you know, in order to start any official work, appearing in any competitive exam, joining school/college, depositing and withdrawing money from the banks,and even applying lpg gas, applying landline connection, etc etc, we must feel up at least a simple firm to iniciate. And in such time without sighted person, it is almost impossible. Don't know about other contry, they might be doing all such things via internet. But here in India, in fact in Darjeeling, such facilities are not be available through internet. So before some days I have iniciate the same topic, but due to lack of time I couldn't seriously continue this topic,. Any ways, in order to overcome from this above mentioned problem, I heard kurzweil can do such task well. There is a special function in kurzweil called scan as firm or similar. And for your convenience I have upload a simple and good demonstration . in this demonstration, you can listen regarding how one can feel up those firm without sighted help. I erge you to download the file, listen, and try to do the same, and give your valuable comments. Your friends, Raju.

[AI] Nazar Ya Nazariya!
Hi All, The serial thankfully is up and running. I do realise that people will watch it and most will simply say it is great and move on without doing anything about it. I would like to share the separate episodes with different groups of stakeholders like teachers, lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats, journalists, relatives of blind people, religious leaders, police, judiciary and so on and engage with them on different issues. To change the paradigm and the conversation, we need to engage with groups. Would appreciate if you guys in different parts of India can help facilitate with local groups . Those of you interested in being part of this Nazar ya nazariya movement, please write to me off the group. We just did a Nazar ya nazariya engagement with a group of doctors yesterday at Delhi. It was impactful. Hoping with engage with the students and lecturers of a couple of colleges of DU in the coming couple of weeks. Will be engaging with more doctors from Jharkand, Bihar, Delhi, UP, Rajasthan Orissa in the next 6 months.

hi george, i have a small request. at the end of the program, an email id is provided where people can write in with their responses, i request you to please share those responses with the list if you dont mind. at least some of them that u find worth sharing, especially those by non-blind or viewers that have no association with any 1 blind. because those will be some of the most important determinants of whether the message of the program is reaching. thanx, and best wishes for all your great work.

Re: [AI] Quandary of Hidden Disabilities: Conceal or Reveal?
a very serious post indeed. if i'm not mistaken this issue of whether 1 should disclose one's blindness in the cv was discussed sometime ago on the list. and many people did contribute to the discussion. still, these r issues that need to be brought up from time to time as new members keep joining the list. because i'm still a bit unsure whether its a good idea to leav it out of the cv till the interview stage.

She was well qualified for the job, and as her interviews progressed through the day, she sensed that she was about to be offered the job. Enlarge This Image Julia Yellow Then the top executives invited her to continue the discussion over drinks. The bar was noisy and she couldn’t keep up with the conversation. She didn’t get the job. The woman, who asked me not to use her name, is among those whom the Americans With Disabilities Act can have a hard time protecting: people with hidden disabilities. What should she have done? During the interview process she might have disclosed her hearing loss in a way that showed how effectively and creatively she compensated for it. When the drinks suggestion was made, she might have said: “I’d prefer we met in a quiet place so I could respond more easily. Would that be O.K.?” But the woman’s choice not to disclose her disability was understandable. In fact, Joyce Bender, who owns a search firm in Pittsburgh that helps place people with disabilities, says that revealing a disability in an interview should be avoided if possible. And it should not be mentioned on a résumé, she says, as doing so may mean never reaching the interview stage. Ms. Bender herself has epilepsy, a factor in her decision to focus the work of Bender Consulting Services on people with disabilities. “People with epilepsy have been viewed as mentally insane, degenerate, demonic or intellectually diminished,” she said. “Today the stigma for people with epilepsy is that you are strange, dangerous, weird and someone to avoid.” An employee is not required to disclose a disability after being hired, but may choose to do so. Someone with epilepsy may want to ensure that the employer will know how to deal with a seizure. A diabetic might need to be away from work for insulin shots. Someone with mental illness may need a flexible schedule to allow for psychiatrist visits. A recovering alcoholic or drug abuser might need time off to meet with a substance abuse support group. But it’s a hard decision to make: If you announce your condition, you risk being stigmatized; if you keep it a secret, you risk poor performance reviews or even being fired. AS someone who suffers from hearing loss, I understand this quandary all too well. When I was an editor at The New York Times, I was hesitant to discuss my condition. I told a few close colleagues about my disability, but I never explained how serious it was. Nor did I admit to myself how much it affected me professionally. Former colleagues have since told me that they sometimes thought I was aloof, or bored, or maybe burned out. The fault was mine, in not disclosing the disability and asking for accommodations. I could have asked for a captioned phone, for instance, which would have made my job much easier and reduced a lot of the stress. I could have used a hearing assistive device, a small FM receiver, to pick up voices at staff meetings. So why didn’t I say anything? I feared being perceived as old. For nearly three decades I tried to fake it, as my hearing loss worsened to the extent that I could barely manage in the workplace even with a hearing aid and a cochlear implant. My experience, and that of others, shows that invisible disabilities in the workplace may lead managers and colleagues to view employees as difficult, lazy or not team players. Most companies are in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, and many seek out employees with disabilities. But there are subtler, gray areas of discrimination, usually unintentional. These can start with the application process. Some big retail companies use prescreening tests with job applications that can exclude certain employees, said Jan Johnston-Tyler, founder and chief executive officer of EvoLibri, a company in Santa Clara, Calif., whose services include job placement for people with disabilities. One of Ms. Johnston-Tyler’s clients, a 25-year-old with Asperger’s syndrome, applied for a position at Subway. While most of the online application was routine, the last step was a multiple choice questionnaire. One of the 60

When I was facing this issue, one of my friends gave me a very useful advice. To close the two popups do the following: 1. Firstly connect your Tata photon device to the computer/laptop. 2. Once it says, detecting device, press ald+F4 and close the Icon by pressing the spacebar. 3. Then press the down arrow and press space on shut down device button. 4. Now go to search box if you're using windows7 and type sharing. Jaws will announce network and sharing center. Hit enter on the same. 5. After opening the above said option, find connect to network and hit enter. Now you'll see list of available networks. Select Tata photon and press enter. 6. Follow the prompt and connect to it.

Re: [AI] Quandary of Hidden Disabilities: Conceal or Reveal?
Today, more job seekers with disabilities are entering the workforce. For persons with disabilities, finding and keeping work is usually no different than for those without disabilities. However, there may be additional things to consider, such as disclosure if, when and how to tell people about your disability. Disclosure is an important and complex decision that is entirely yours to make. What’s right for one person may not be right for another, and what works in one situation may not be successful in another. Whether you mention your disability in your cover letter or resumé, during the interview or at the time of the job offer depends on you and the situation. If you’re dealing with a service provider or agency that works specifically with persons with disabilities, you will still have some say in how much is disclosed. Disclosure is entirely your choice. Before deciding if, when and how to disclose your disability, think about the following questions: Is your disability visible? How do most people react when they learn about your disability? How do you deal with their reactions? When do you feel most comfortable and confident disclosing your disability? Does not disclosing put your safety or the safety of others at risk? Will the employer think you’re dishonest? How would you deal with that reaction? What misconceptions might the employer have about your disability? If you disclose, will you be able to reassure your employer that your disability will not affect your ability to do the work? What do you know about this employer's policies and experiences regarding people with disabilities? - Original Message - From: Shireen Irani shireen@gmail.com To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerningthe disabled. accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 8:58 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Quandary of Hidden Disabilities: Conceal or Reveal? a very serious post indeed. if i'm not mistaken this issue of whether 1 should disclose one's blindness in the cv was discussed sometime ago on the list. and many people did contribute to the discussion. still, these r issues that need to be brought up from time to time as new members keep joining the list. because i'm still a bit unsure whether its a good idea to leav it out of the cv till the interview stage.

Re: [AI] Quandary of Hidden Disabilities: Conceal or Reveal?
sure. well received. many thanx. On 9/22/13, Devdas Nayak dena1...@gmail.com wrote: Today, more job seekers with disabilities are entering the workforce. For persons with disabilities, finding and keeping work is usually no different than for those without disabilities. However, there may be additional things to consider, such as disclosure if, when and how to tell people about your disability. Disclosure is an important and complex decision that is entirely yours to make. What’s right for one person may not be right for another, and what works in one situation may not be successful in another. Whether you mention your disability in your cover letter or resumé, during the interview or at the time of the job offer depends on you and the situation. If you’re dealing with a service provider or agency that works specifically with persons with disabilities, you will still have some say in how much is disclosed. Disclosure is entirely your choice. Before deciding if, when and how to disclose your disability, think about the following questions: Is your disability visible? How do most people react when they learn about your disability? How do you deal with their reactions? When do you feel most comfortable and confident disclosing your disability? Does not disclosing put your safety or the safety of others at risk? Will the employer think you’re dishonest? How would you deal with that reaction? What misconceptions might the employer have about your disability? If you disclose, will you be able to reassure your employer that your disability will not affect your ability to do the work?

She was well qualified for the job, and as her interviews progressed through the day, she sensed that she was about to be offered the job.

The woman, who asked me not to use her name, is among those whom the Americans With Disabilities Act can have a hard time protecting: people with hidden disabilities. What should she have done? During the interview process she might have disclosed her hearing loss in a way that showed how effectively and creatively she compensated for it. When the drinks suggestion was made, she might have said: “I’d prefer we met in a quiet place so I could respond more easily. Would that be O.K.?” But the woman’s choice not to disclose her disability was understandable. In fact, Joyce Bender, who owns a search firm in Pittsburgh that helps place people with disabilities, says that revealing a disability in an interview should be avoided if possible. And it should not be mentioned on a résumé, she says, as doing so may mean never reaching the interview stage. Ms. Bender herself has epilepsy, a factor in her decision to focus the work of Bender Consulting Services on people with disabilities. “People with epilepsy have been viewed as mentally insane, degenerate, demonic or intellectually diminished,” she said. “Today the stigma for people with epilepsy is that you are strange, dangerous, weird and someone to avoid.” An employee is not required to disclose a disability after being hired, but may choose to do so. Someone with epilepsy may want to ensure that the employer will know how to deal with a seizure. A diabetic might need to be away from work for insulin shots. Someone with mental illness may need a flexible schedule to allow for psychiatrist visits. A recovering alcoholic or drug abuser might need time off to meet with a substance abuse support group. But it’s a hard decision to make: If you announce your condition, you risk
