Flatten Inaccessibility: Impact of COVID-19 on Blind and Visually Impaired Adults in the United States

The following information has been sourced from the American Foundation for the Blind website.

The Flatten Inaccessibility report examined the impact of COVID-19 on adults with visual impairments in the United States early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Though data were collected in April, the systemic issues and challenges related to COVID-19 identified by the 1,921 participants must be addressed in order to ensure equal access for all. Read the report online, or download and share the accessible PDF.
