Kaleigh and Cody Brendle, a brother and sister, have lived with established rights to community integration for people with disabilities. Both individuals are blind. The Brendles now express concerns that these existing protections face potential changes. They shared their perspective at their parents' New Jersey home before Kaleigh's relocation for law school. They stated they have provided mutual support to each other in navigating life while blind.
