Yeah, those are the hardest to convince. It is understandable though, because when I was sighted, everything visual made perfect sense to me. They are mostly visual in nature. Give them a bit of directions verbally and they are lost.

It is not cool when they get stubborn about some of their designs. I sometimes like to see some of them meet me halfway. To them visual patterns are like sonds to blnd individuals. Just a tiny impreffection can drive them insane. The same with blind users, whom focus on hearing all the time and a slight movement of the speaker can make JAWS sound different in a room.

Try to educate them as much and provide awareness. With time, they will hopefully embrace accessibility.
