  I am strongly visually impaired. Appropriate information on orientation possibilities and communication support are important for me.

I do not need the items for wheelchair-users and walking impaired people. I have removed these. Also the items for blind users are partly irrelevant. All together, a relatively small amount of items remain of use:

• Glass doors with visual contrasts
• Optically labelled routes
• Stairs and steps are labelled - Colour or contrast
• not included: Lifts - Large visual signal indicating floor number?
• Dining-room - Large-type menu / Menu is read aloud
• not included: Guest room - Information in large print / Information recorded on tape
• Hotel - Assistance upon arrival
• Hotel - Checking the room at departure
• Lifts - Audible signal when the lift arrives and Acoustic signal upon arrival at floor
• Exhibition - Audible description of objects
• not included: Guest room - Furniture with no sharp edges
  

I do not necessarily need the pre-defined filters for wheelchair users and for other groups. It is however interesting to see how facilities accommodate other groups. I have therefore kept these. I have added some address fields I have also adapted the optical appearance.

I use a screen-reading device. The letter-size does not cause a problem. The choice of colour however is not optimal for me. I have therefore chosen other colours.

The page with specific requirements (my you-too)

Page with description of a facility (Jugendzentrum Marco Polo, Wien)

Only a few facilities fulfil the relevant requirements until now. This causes a general problem. It remains to hope that soon more information for visually impaired users will be available.
