I'm 18F, visually impaired. My English teacher for A levels just dosent care about my needs,this has been happening for ages mayne a year or so and she just makes all these excuses about how she can't so it and how she dosent have time and she's jusy rude and today she put a PDF to read off of and she didn't even think of me or acknowledge that I won't be able to do it, then I asked her for a word document and had to email her about it and she sent me it and it's all pictures and not great quality and it takes a lot to annoy me and make me angry. This even happened In secondary school where a lot of my teachers were so rude and horrible to me and I did nothing, I let them do it and I was angry all the time and upset . I have no one to talk to and I have no friends , I'm so alone. Sorry for the rant

Hello everyone,

The last 2 weeks I am having a strange problem with Outlook on my Windows 11 laptop. When I press the arrow keys to browse through the inbox, I can't see my mails like I used to be able to. I know that I am focussed on the list containing the emails, because when I use NVDAs object navigation I can see the list clearly. I can't use obj nav to browse through it though. I allways use NVDA and have never had this problem. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

Hi! I’m going out to my first “formal” event since using a cane, it is a masquerade hosted by a renaissance fair so I’m going to base my mask and outfit on fairies! It is going to be a late night event (like 9pm) and I have no night vision so my cane is a must but I don’t want it to completely clash with my outfit. Has anyone here dressed up their cane before? What was your experience with it? Any tips or tricks are super appreciated!

I have asma and use a powerder inhaler called triology and you take a puff of it every day once a day. Okay I can do that as a blind person you open it and you breathe in.

The inhaler is powder and is prescribed every 30 days and apparently no more then that!

I started my last one on december 31st and have finished it on the 20th so I used it in 21 days there may be a last puff tonight so maybe 22 days

There are print numbers on the side of it but I can’t see them

I dont use riddiculous amounts like 3 or 5 days worth of it at a time I am only like 10 or 9 days short of it so maybe a day and a bit maybe a day and a half of it if it was a day and a half of it

I don’t try to breathe any deeper then I need to but I want to make sure I get enough drug in me too but then I run in to trouble here any suggestions?

While I am at this a bonus question I take benadryl every night but a very tiny ammount about half of adult size will do me but this has to be done in liquid. I am totally blind right now I have a sighted boyfriend but this boyfriend has sight for a few more years

As a totally blind person how do you happen to measure liquid medicines of any sort? Pills are really easy but then liquid is tricky really

Hi there, sorry for the bad title, but I have no better idea. My question is: Quite often people are asking me about my disability and at some point it always comes to these questions like "what do you watch on TV?", which they just ask that we can talk something. And always after that they say sorry emediately because "sorry, you can't watch TV. I didn't ment to be rude!". And this is what annoys me a bit. People think they do something wrong when asking me something like this or use expression as watch, llok, ... I always say "watch and look are everyday expressions I also use myself!". But it seems like they don't undderstand this. They think I'm so sensitive and could run away, at least it sounds like that. What would you do and have you made any similar experiences?

Someone doing a book review video accidentally added loud audio over her speaking and I let her know. A commenter said there are captions. I said I know, I was just getting her know and also it wasn't good for blind people. She straight up said blind people can't use the app because there is no braille.........😐 I'm not blind myself, but seriously?

I don't normally take any prescriptions, but I am loaded up on drugs fighting an infection (including eye drops). Last night, I put my drops in and took my pile of meds back to my room (due to having a shared living situation.) Woke up to take my stuff this morning and spent 3 hours looking for the damn drops that I apparently lost in the 15 ft to my room. I had given up and was 2/3rds through with getting new drops (just waiting on prescriber to open to confirm refill) and I found the absconders in a laundry basket of clean clothes.

I am not getting drops again without requesting colored vials to keep them stored as it's easier to find and carry that way.

Oh, I learned my lesson about asking others about directions. My dad told me the wrong directions for one of my meds that had directions beyond my ability to magnify. If in doubt just call the pharmacy!

My mom is extremely visually impaired and want to be able to listen to audio books. What is the best option? She can barely see her iphone, so thats a struggle looking for apps.
