HI EVERYONE, I’VE DECIDED TO START WRITING A BLOG. I’M A UNIVERSITY STUDENT FROM THE UK STUDYING TO BECOME A TEACHER. I’M BLIND myself , THE aim OF MY BLOG IS TO HELP OTHERS THAT ARE BLIND/VISUALLY IMPAIRED AND GIVE MY OPINIONS AND EXPERIENCES ON THINGS relating TO SIGHT LOSS AND JUST GENERAL LIFE. I HOPE YOU ENJOY READING MY POSTS!
PLEASE COMMENT ON MY POSTS IF YOU WOULD LIKE me TO COVER SPECIFIC TOPICS OR GIVE me feedback, I’M OPEN TO ALL THAT STUFF! 🙂
I HOPE YOU FIND MY BLOG USEFUL.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR READING
HOLLY 🙂
![There’s a phrase we hear far too often: “fully accessible”.
Hotels use it. Venues use it. Website developers use it. Event organisers use it.
On the surface, it sounds brilliant. But there’s no one size fits all approach to accessibility.
Because accessibility isn’t a box you can tick once and forget about. There isn’t a magic point where something becomes accessible to every single disabled person.
Our access needs are different. What works for one person might not work for another.
Rather than asking, “is it accessible?”
Ask: “Accessible for who?”
In my latest blog post, I’m exploring why “fully accessible” is a myth. Head to the link in my bio if you’d like to give it a read.

Image two: Holly sat on a low stone wall beside a shallow stream with a path running alongside it. Dense green bushes and trees line the far bank, forming a thick hedge along the water. There is a small bridge and a building in the background. She wears a black T-shirt, a long, multicoloured patterned floral skirt and a silver necklace.]](https://lifeofablindgirl.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
