At Bengaluru’s Jyothi Seva Home for Blind Children, a particular second grader was once addicted to something that appeared like a gaming device. Despite getting repeatedly reprimanded from his teachers, the child would try getting his hands on the device as much as possible, even if that meant skipping his snack time. Sounds like the story of another gaming addicted boy perhaps? Yes and No. The device had been purposely allotted to the child by the school as it helped him learn Braille on his own through games and other fun activities.

2019 was a year of highs and lows for the disability sector in India. From the first deaf candidate to contest the Lok Sabha elections to accessibility in elections getting a major push, there was a lot to celebrate. There were heartbreaks too. RPWD Act guidelines remain on paper in many ways. So do the deadlines set under the Accessible India Campaign. In NewzHook’s final #StoryOfTheWeek for 2019 we pass the hat around and ask people from the disability sector their highlights for 2019 and the one big wish for 2020.
