Many people want to help the blind community by creating new apps or technology. That's awesome! Others are writing stories or making films with blind characters and want to ask a blind person's perspective. That's great, too! This thread is the place where the ones who want to help or learn can connect with the blind and visually impaired people who don't mind answering questions, filling out surveys, or being interviewed. We're putting it in a single, stickied thread for everyone's convenience. Most of the regulars here come for the company. r/Blind is a place where we feel accepted, a place where we fit in with the only other people who understand what life is like for us. It's our place to rant and to celebrate, to vent and to compare notes. It's where we grieve the loss of our eyesight and encourage each other to do our best. We don't come here to answer questions from people who assume we're the blind version of r/AskReddit. Moving all the questions to this thread frees up our sub for the more personal and heartfelt posts.

This is our first week doing this so please be patient if we need to make adjustments.

**How it works:**

If you have a survey for us to fill out or want to set up an interview post the link here. If you're offering compensation for our time please let us know in your post. Some companies (hello, Google) don't allow their employees to post surveys - they require their employees to ask the moderators to post it for them. That's fine, just message the mod team and we'll post your blurb here for you. If you don't have a fancy survey link and just want to ask a question you can post it here.

The beautiful members of r/Blind will DM you and you can discuss your questions with them in private OR they can respond to your message directly in this thread. Any survey request or questions from outsiders posted anywhere except here will be removed so the rest of the sub stays true to its intended purpose.

This post will be reposted weekly - Sundays 5PM Central
