Holiday Braille Box: New Purdys release offers accessible chocolate experience
Description
December 19, 2021
According to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, about 1.5 million Canadians identify as having sight loss, and more than 5.5 million others have an eye disease that could cause it; these numbers underscore the importance of accessibility in product design. Created for and with the blind and partially sighted community in mind, Canadian chocolatier Purdys released the Holiday Braille Box earlier this month. Global News Weekend's Mike Arsenault and Aalia Adam have more, including YouTuber Molly Burke's take on the box.
