Tactile Crayon Toppers
The challenge
Few products exist that address the every-day needs of people, especially children, with vision or mobility impairments. In the race to design the more "obvious" accessible innovations, our society tends to overlook children's basic needs.
Who it helps
St. Joseph's is a private school for children with vision impairments. Through partnering with their teachers and students, the Mountain Lakes Public Library is working to create more universally accessible design prototypes.
