For visually impaired passengers, what adjustment might be advised during briefing?

When briefing passengers with visual impairments, focus on giving clear spatial cues that help them orient themselves in the cabin. Telling them how many seatbacks away the closest exit is provides a concrete distance cue they can rely on to locate the exit quickly, even if visibility is reduced. This supports safer, more independent movement during an emergency and helps them build a mental map of the cabin. Other options don’t address finding exits or moving safely in the space. Advising only the oxygen mask misses the navigation element. Avoiding speech deprives the passenger of essential safety information. Sitting near the flight attendant station might help with access to help, but it doesn’t give a practical cue about where exits are relative to the passenger’s seat.
