From 1999 – 2001, as a young professor I conducted over 100 interviews with employed adults with blindness. I was seeking insight into my profession from the everyday consumer – and I continue to learn and improve my practice by listening absent bias and judgement.
This week we have Barbara Hadnott Her interview was conducted November 21, 1999 – She was born blind in 1953 – Her life is a vivid picture of someone who is at home with the reality of growing up blind, being active, smart, accomplished and yet for the first 27 years never knowing what was in her next step before she landed on it –.
Barbara teaches us that to grow up being guided as a means of efficient blind travel is to accept to being guided as natural adult lifestyle. Yet, she felt able to finally break free once she got her long cane at age 27, and is seeking to become more self-sufficient. Let’s listen to a wonderfully fun and insightful interview Barbara
What an amazing story of triumph– in every other part of life, Barbara was a pioneer and a leader – except the one that was set for her by circumstances beyond her control- Growing up without any independent means to feel safe when walking independently.
Her life is a vivid picture of someone who is at home with the reality of growing up blind, being active, smart, accomplished and never knowing what’s in your next step before you land on it – It makes you prefer to walk with someone else, and all travel is with someone else. She can and does travel alone – yet this is not a competition – her life of having a guide for most travel was created from the ground up- from day one in her life. In 1954, when she turned one, there was no mobility tool available for one-year-old toddlers. Her parents never had a choice.
There is nothing wrong with a life tethered to others, I guess- except that Barbara urged parents to start their children with the cane as soon as possible. Which is now possible with the Pediatric Belt Cane.
