Blind employees are expected to work like any non-disabled employee, and they require no additional time off from work because of blindness. Depending on the transportation system, they may require some flexibility at times, but many other employees require flex time as well for other reasons. I'll be glad to call you when I have an opening. I suggest you allow us to provide a client on an internship at no cost to you so you can experience for yourself having an blind employee. You would then have the option of hiring that individual when an opening does occur.
Blind people receive training to travel independently.
Special transportation may be available to help blind people get to work, but some take the bus or ride in car pools like non-disabled employees that you may have working here. DBS provides training to blind individuals at the work site to find important locations independently. A blind individual could not keep up with the workload demands. Through proper assessment of the job and the candidate for employment, DBS can better determine if the disability of blindness would prevent an individual from being as productive as is needed. In addition, through our internship program, you can determine for yourself if that is true with no obligation.
