Which means what exactly?
Access is not about blindness, it is about interaction. Many

If amazon thinks access begins and ends with a blind employee, they are
wrong. After all, just because one person experiences blindness, it has
nothing whatsoever to do with how another person sharing the same label
might accommodate.
