Blind rock climber from Boston uses Legos to map wall

[kestrell]

I don't really get how the Legos are being used to map out the wall but, between this and the man who uses Legos to build his prosthetic arms, Legos definitely count as assistive technology

Yes, if you didn't know: for sighted folks they map specific routes (with different difficulty ratings and often funny names) on a climbing wall with various colored tape, so the legos make sense to me. Honestly I wonder if you could use something like that to mark the route ON THE WALL too. Or braille labels obvs.

In our house Legos are good for ADHD stimming/focusing or anxiety management in kids and adults. Unsurprisingly, you can do a lot of things with Lego!

Do you know of any specific resources for using Legos as a disability tech resource? I'll research this later, but am wondering if you can recommend specific resources.
