| 5/26/26 |  You Can Build This: The Story of Bricks for the Blind with Matthew Shifrin | Ep #47 | Matthew Shifrin was 13 years old when a family friend typed out the first ever set of accessible Lego instructions for him on a braille typewriter. That experience changed everything. A decade later, Matthew founded Bricks for the Blind, a nonprofit that has adapted over 550 Lego sets and now reaches blind and visually impaired builders in more than 120 countries, all for free. In this episode, Matthew shares the story behind Bricks for the Blind and what it really means for a blind child to be able to build a Lego set independently — the confidence, the joy, the learning, and the sense of belonging that comes with it. He walks through how the process works, why sorting pieces is more important than most people realize, and what he has learned from the builders who write to him from all over the world. He also speaks candidly about what companies and organizations consistently get wrong when designing for blind and visually impaired people, and what it would take to do better. To explore free accessible Lego instructions, donate, or get involved as a writer or tester, visit BricksForTheBlind.org or email info@bricksfortheblind.org. You can also find Bricks for the Blind on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn at @bricks4theblind. Want to be a guest on the podcast?

| 5/12/26 |  Independence, Mobility, and Assistive Technology with Mike Mulligan | Ep #46 | When Mike Mulligan went to get contacts before a high school basketball game, he had no idea that appointment would change the entire trajectory of his life. He was diagnosed with Coats' disease at 18. Mike then built something he never expected: a career dedicated to helping others navigate vision loss with confidence, independence, and possibility. In this episode, Mike shares his journey from diagnosis to becoming both a Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist and a Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist, and the work he does today through Blind On the Move. He breaks down why Braille still matters in a world full of audio technology, how assistive tech is opening doors that didn't exist a decade ago, and what families can do right now to help their child build independence — even when it feels easier to just step in and do it for them.

| 4/28/26 |  Building a Resource for Every Family: The Story of WonderBaby with Amber Bobnar | Ep #45 | When Amber Bobnar's son Ivan was diagnosed with Leber's Congenital Amaurosis at just a few months old, she found herself searching for answers, resources, and most of all, connection. What she found instead was a private email listserv full of invaluable information that no one outside of it could access. So she decided to change that. In this episode, Amber shares the story behind WonderBaby.org — the resource she built that has grown into a meaningful home for parents of children with visual impairments and multiple disabilities. She opens up about the early days of Ivan's diagnosis, the unexpected challenges of advocating for a medically complex child in a place with limited resources, and the hard-won lesson she wishes she had learned sooner: that love and connection matter more than any resource she could gather.

According to Cathy Thompson, founder of Patch Pals, it takes routine, distraction, flexibility, celebration — and a patch that a child actually wants to wear. In this episode, Cathy and her daughter Mackenzie share the story behind Patch Pals: how a cataract diagnosis led to a daily patching battle, how Cathy's homemade solution changed everything, and how that idea grew into a business that has quietly reshaped how families and doctors approach amblyopia treatment.
