[Athen] [EXT] More accessibility frustrations

[Robert Spangler]

I'm blind, too and I plan to continue griping about access just as much
now, if not more, than I did in the past.  It is very easy for smaller
groups with needs, such as blind people, to be forgotten during times like
these, when there are many major changes, so we need to continue to educate
people even more than ever now.
