Blind & Low Vision Learning Hub

Listen • Touch • Explore • Learn

Welcome to a growing collection of learning resources for children who are blind, have low vision, or enjoy learning through sound and touch.

We believe every child deserves opportunities to explore, discover, develop skills and enjoy learning in ways that work for them.

Different Ways to Learn, Different Ways to Shine.

Designed for Different Ways of Learning

Blindness and low vision are not the same experience for every child. Some learners use Braille, some use screen readers, some benefit from magnification, and others use a combination of tools.

As we develop these resources, our aim is to provide:

  • Clear spoken instructions where appropriate.
  • Keyboard-accessible activities.
  • Compatibility with assistive technology.
  • Strong contrast and readable text.
  • Flexible learning without countdown timers.
  • Opportunities to repeat activities.
  • Positive, respectful encouragement.

We welcome feedback from blind and low-vision learners, families and educators as we develop these learning resources.

Learning Should Be Open to Everyone

Accessibility is not an extra feature. It is part of creating opportunities for everyone to participate.

Every child deserves to explore, learn and belong.
