In this episode Shawn dives into the world of Minecraft with co‑hosts Kaia, Russell, and Clement to explore how a game that seems ultra-visual can actually be surprisingly accessible (and even educational) for blind and low vision players.
They discuss what Minecraft actually is and why everything being made of 1x1 meter cubes is a big accessibility win and how the Minecraft Access Mod and screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver make it possible to explore, build, and fight zombies without sight.
If you’ve ever thought video games “aren’t for people that are blind and low vision,” or you’ve got a child who keeps asking about Minecraft, this conversation might change your mind. It’s part geek-out, part guide, and full of creative possibilities.
Blind Beginnings’ mission is to inspire children and youth who are blind or partially sighted and their families through diverse programs, experiences, counseling and peer support, and opportunities to create fulfilling lives. Visit us online at www.blindbeginnings.ca to find out more.
