""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. I knew where the pieces went and I was able to learn about the world around me.""
"Shifrin decided that if one LEGO build could be translated into braille, hundreds more could, too. Three years ago, he formally launched Bricks for the Blind, a nonprofit devoted to creating accessible instructions for LEGO sets."
Matthew Shifrin, a blind LEGO enthusiast, founded Bricks for the Blind three years ago to provide accessible instructions for LEGO sets. The nonprofit has produced detailed, text-based instructions that work with braille displays and screen readers, making them available to thousands worldwide. Shifrin's journey began at age 13 when he first built a LEGO set independently using braille instructions. This experience inspired him to ensure that others could enjoy the same independence in building LEGO sets.
