👨💻 There is an AWESOME site called Bricks for the Blind that helps people with vision impairment build LEGO sets.
🦯 It was created by Matthew Shifrin, who is blind. (It used to be called LEGO For The Blind.)
📝 Matthew writes detailed, step-by-step instructions for building LEGO sets.
🖥️ These instructions can be read by screen readers.
🚀 His website now features instructions for 215 LEGO sets, with more added all the time.
🌐 Check it out here: https://bricksfortheblind.org/
🤝 When Matthew first launched his website, it received a lot of attention!
🎉 He reached out to the LEGO Foundation for help, and now they support him.
📚 They have created audio and braille instructions for 89 LEGO sets, and we think they will keep adding more!
🎧 You can find these audio instructions at: https://legoaudioinstructions.com.
🎥 You can watch or listen to a video of Matthew talk about why building LEGO sets is important for children with vision impairment.
🌍 He says it can help them understand the world.
🏗️ They can build miniature versions of architecture, vehicles, and more that surround us.
