""This was the first time that I was able to build a Lego set on my own. It was truly an amazing experience because I was completely in control of the whole building process.""
""After Shifrin's babysitter died, he wanted to honor her memory. So he set about fine-tuning the instructions the two had posted online to reach other blind builders.""
""His website makes the downloadable instructions available for free to anyone who's blind or visually impaired. They can either print the step-by-step instructions in braille, use braille computers or turn to screen readers.""
Matthew Shifrin, inspired by a family friend's gift of braille instructions, founded Bricks for the Blind to help blind Lego enthusiasts. His initiative offers free downloadable instructions, enabling blind individuals to build independently. Shifrin collaborates with a team of 30 sighted writers and blind testers to ensure the instructions are effective. While the instructions empower blind builders, assistance from sighted individuals may be necessary for sorting Lego pieces.
