Myrna is a very intelligent woman who studied music, a career many bright children born blind were funneled into, her husband was a blind piano tuner – another career historically taught to intelligent students at schools for the blind. Myrna broke free of it and joined the modern world in career of assistive technology. She was using GPS before it was cool.

She grew up a dependent traveler. At school she relied on a guide. She learned travel techniques walking with a group of blind friends. Throughout her life she continued to learn strategies that helped her to be a robust, independent traveler- someone who did not have to “learn a route” before she traveled it by herself – the way she was taught in high school.

Myrna described a world that was not welcoming of her preferred mobility tool, the dog guide. Her family, agencies employing and serving people who are blind. and Taxis all preferred her to leave her dog at home.

Blind people no matter what age - should not have so many barriers to using mobility tools that are essential to independence with safety– Denying entry to dog guide users or denying belt canes to blind toddlers – is discrimination. Discrimination is harmful and perpetuates inequality.
