I don't see it anywhere neither in the law nor in the exception.
Moreover while section III/A ("Discussion - The Six Exempted Classes") of FedReg (page 68473) clearly cites examples in every case and goes even further to clear up the difference this change brings in the exemption in question ("In other words, if there is no screen reader functionality or no read–aloud functionality, the exemption will apply") it has
no word whatosever about limited scope of the exemptions regarding visually impared users (barely even mentions the American Foundation for the Blind, it's named simply as
one of the many proponents.)
