In Britain, legislation has been introduced to Parliament that would require all taxi drivers to have completed disability awareness training. The move comes after what would appear to be rampant discrimination against guide dog handlers there. Bonnie Mosen joins us as we discuss the issue, and we seek your experiences with taxis and ride sharing services.

They’ve designed a series of top-quality audio games for blind people to play on multiple platforms, and a successful Kickstarter campaign will see more games available soon. But it’s not yet too late to make a contribution.
