Using our research findings, AFB creates toolkits to provide actionable steps that employers, healthcare providers, and educational leaders – as well as parents, students, and others – can use to ensure equal access and inclusion for people who are blind or have low vision.

Below, explore the toolkits AFB created to improve inclusion in specific settings, such as workplaces, hospitals, and classrooms.

All Toolkits

  • Accessible Ed Tech Resources

    Inaccessible Ed Tech Is a Barrier to Digital Inclusion for Blind and Low Vision Students. Learn about the problem and what ed tech creators and educational leaders can do to promote full digital inclusion in the classroom.

  • Best Practices Guide for Hospitals

    Individuals who are blind, have low vision, or are deafblind often experience barriers and challenges in seeking out and receiving healthcare. The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) received a grant from the Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation to develop an understanding of the barriers and challenges experienced by those with vision loss and to develop materials to support healthcare workers to better meet the needs of the population.

  • Digital Inclusion Toolkits for Students, Families, Educators, and School Administrators

    Based on the findings from our Access and Engagement research, AFB researchers created a series of toolkits for students, families, teachers, and administrators. Learn how to build IEPs that incorporate digital inclusion, implement it in the classroom, and advocate with school leaders and lawmakers.

  • Steps for Success: Hiring, Onboarding, and Retaining People Who Are Blind or Have Low Vision

    Based on the findings from our Workplace Technology Study, we created a helpful toolkit for HR leaders and hiring managers on building an accessible workplace for blind and low vision employees. Steps for Success: Hiring, Onboarding, and Retaining People Who Are Blind or Have Low Vision provides key best insight, practices, and guidance to assure barriers to opportunity don’t stand in the way of workplace inclusion.
