Abstract | In 2020 the LEGO Foundation launched LEGO braille bricks as a tool to help children learn about braille through play. The bricks have since been distributed in 21 countries. This session introduces the pedagogical concept behind the LEGO braille bricks, and explores how the bricks can be used to facilitate learning braille, alongside a braille program. Melissa and Tony share how their firsthand experience at LEGO land opened up new possibilities for the use of LEGO braille bricks to inspire inclusive learning of braille. |
