The Americans with Disabilities Act states that television shows of any kind must accomidate disabled patrons for studio audiences, game show contestants, actors, stagehands, etc.

From what I've seen Mark Goodson Productions has been very accomodating to people's who've needed it over the years, including a few blind contestants on Family Feud.

I have seen Wheel of Fortune use a wheelchair-bound contestant, his brother spun the wheel, while he played the puzzle board. According to Wikipedia, Jeopardy has had a blind contestant on the show, a Braille typewriter was used for the Final Jeopardy round.


That was not the only time;  They actually had a blind young girl during kids week, I believe it was last year.
