Zachary Morris: It costs nearly $7,000 more per year to live in the U.S. with his disability.

Morris : People with blindness or low vision spend 27% of their household income on expenses related to their disability.

People with disabilities tend to incur many other extra expenses, such as spending more on transportation, prepared foods and grocery delivery services.

Politicians and policymakers appear to be paying more attention to this problem, Morris says.
