blind community
Visually impaired group
The blind community refers collectively to people who are blind or visually impaired, along with their shared experiences, culture, and advocacy networks.
The term emphasizes group identity and common concerns—accessibility, independence, representation—rather than individual disability: The blind community has pushed for better screen reader compatibility.
Similar formations exist for other disability groups.
