Squash for blind people

Hi all,

I've just had a thought after seeing Stevie Wonder on TV.
Many sports are now adapted so the visually impaired can participate. I have witnessed a blind cricket match, and I thought it was amazing.
What I would like to know is, has squash been adapted at all to accomodate people? ie, do you have a big wall that beeps so the players know which way to hit it?

I look forward to your responses.

I prefer the 100m for the deaf...they introduced it way back in 1988 but it appears the contestants are still on the starting lane and won't budge!

Why don't they just wave a flag to start the race or use traffic lights like they do in Formula One?
