PROJECTS
Audio Description Library
Audio description tracks describe the key visual elements of movies so those with visual impairments are still able to understand and enjoy them as their sighted peers. Our goal is to build an online accessible library of audio descriptive tracks of children's and family movies for easy instant download to a computer or mobile device.
ALL PLAY Accessible Toy Guide
Not all toys are created equal and many are not currently accessible to children with visual impairments. However, some can be adapted at home or are still enjoyable by kids of any sight level. We review a variety of children's products and the best are featured in the ALL PLAY Accessible Toy Guide for parents, teachers and families to easily find great gifts!
Community Play Groups
We're working with five communities to bring play groups for children of all sight levels to play, learn and socialize with their peers. Toy companies donate their products to this project and we provide them with feedback on the accessibility and enjoyment of their products among the groups.
Assistive Techonology Programs
For many problems, technology is key to connecting children with visual impairments to all the aspects of the world which they cannot see. However many kids do not have access to needed technology because of high costs and the fact many parents are unaware these solutions exist.
Accessible Toy Initiative
We strongly believe all toys can be made accessible and are best when they are "born accessible"- meaning the manufacturer designs the toy with accessibility by the blind in mind and hence, the product is ready to go right out of the box. The packaging and shopping experience can be made accessible, too!
Awareness Campaigns
We want EVERYONE to be aware of the needs of children with visual impairments in order to create a more understanding, empathetic and respectful world. It is our goal to be active at film festivals and theaters, vision conferences, social media and in a variety of local supporting stores, offices, and restaurants.
