Braille, Art, STEM, and a Life Without Limits. #BrailleDoodle
About us
Braille, STEM, Art and Fun for EVERYONE! The BrailleDoodle is an affordable, two-sided tablet for Braille learning and Tactile – Science, Math, and Art with a surface that refreshes repeatedly. It allows someone to write and create, feel as they go, and erase with ease. A Revolutionary Solution The BrailleDoodle uses magnets, metal beads, and Etch-a-Sketch-like technology to provide Braille literacy and tactile images. It features hundreds of tiny holes, each with a metal bead that can be raised to the surface using a magnetic stylus. When raised, the beads are securely locked in place for touching and can be erased with a push or sweep of the stylus. The Braille Side The BrailleDoodle is suitable for learners of all ages and skill levels. Providing an intuitive “no-fail” approach and based on proven, motivational, and multi-sensory teaching methods, anyone can learn to read and write Braille! The Doodle Side Unleash limitless freedom and imagination with tactile Art. With a touch of the stylus, draw while Hearing, Feeling, and Seeing (in high contrast). This instantly makes graphing, STEM activities, and diagrams accessible. Get a blank canvas with a press or a swipe of the stylus. Doodle Stencils Doodle Stencils slide down and are held in place by built-in notches. They can form 84 Braille cells and instruct students in science, math, art, shapes, and graphs.

A beautiful speech worth watching!
Last week in New York City, I had the profound honor of accepting the Helen Keller Achievement Award from the American Foundation for the Blind. This recognition holds extraordinary meaning. Helen Keller’s legacy helped redefine what is possible for blind individuals, and to receive an award in her name is both deeply humbling and incredibly motivating. As someone who has dedicated my career to advocacy, accessibility, and challenging outdated perceptions of disability, this moment felt especially significant. It serves as a reminder that the work we do to create a more inclusive world matters, and that progress is built through persistent voices, bold action, and community. I am profoundly grateful to the American Foundation for the Blind for this honor, and to everyone who has supported my journey. This award is not a finish line. It is fuel to continue pushing industries, platforms, and society forward toward true inclusion. There is still much work to do, and I am more committed than ever to being part of that change.

I love this short, simple message from my friend @sadi.theblindlady. No, Braille is not going anywhere, and 1000% of those who could benefit from it should be able to learn it! $1 can make a difference! Support #BrailleLiteracy today. https://lnkd.in/ekwzGTNX Video Description- A young woman in a red top is smiling while making and placing a label on her meds. Text says screen readers can't replace Braille 4 times.

BrailleDoodle! - from The TouchPad Pro Foundation was created so people who are blind can read, write, and create through touch. It’s already helping learners in 26 countries. Then a manufacturing failure forced us to stop. We lost $160,000 — but we chose quality over shipping defects. Now we need help to rebuild and restart. Please donate or share ❤️ Click the link 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3h5EBU6 #BrailleDoodle #blind #LowVision #braille
