How to give Firefly better sources for disabilities

I keep running into the issue of the program not being able to make appropriate pictures for people with disabilities. For example, I have two blind daughters, and Firefly is unable to recreate the type of cane used by blind persons. It continually shows a walking cane or crutches in images. Sometimes, it also wrongly puts sunglasses on images, which is a stereotype of blind people. 

 

Is there a way to suggest that the app fixes this and becomes more realistically inclusive?

I looked at Adobe Stock images marked blind and cane (Adobe Stock is a major source for Firefly) and I could not find any that have keywords that describe the cane blind people use in any detail (such as this one: Blind mature man with his daughter walking outdoors), so this might be part of the problem. Presuming I am correct here, you have to describe it in more detail, like I have done with the prompt below.

Did you click the thumbs down icon on the images to report that they were unsatisfactory ?
