How a blind man made it possible for others with low vision to build Lego sets
SMRTR summary
Matthew Shifrin, who is blind, received accessible braille instructions for building Lego sets from his babysitter when he was 13, enabling him to build independently. After she died, he created Bricks for the Blind, a nonprofit that has produced free instructions for over 540 Lego sets, serving about 3,000 builders worldwide. His work inspired Lego to develop official audio and braille instructions in 2019, empowering blind parents and children to build together without sighted assistance.
