State of Accessibility - Episode 9

In honor of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), we invited Isabel Holdsworth, Assistive Technology Engineer at TPGi, to share her remarkable journey as a blind traveler embarking on a cruise to Antarctica. 

In this heartfelt conversation, Isabel brings her journey to life through rich sensory detail, like hearing the splash of a whale’s tail, or braving the unmistakable smell of penguin colonies.  

She also shares how the ship’s crew navigated her disability with a mix of humor, empathy, and respect; highlighting that effective accommodations often begin with understanding your audience.
