VisionAware is an information and support resource produced by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) to help adults experiencing vision loss maintain independence and quality of life. Its Cards and Games section, housed within the Recreation and Leisure area, provides curated guidance on accessible games drawing on APH's decades of expertise in blindness education and rehabilitation.
The guide outlines specific product categories—large-print playing cards, braille card decks, tactile board games, and screen-reader-compatible online games—with practical notes on sourcing and use. It also includes tips on adapting familiar games using low-cost methods such as adhesive braille labels and tactile markers, and links out to further leisure resources within the APH ConnectCenter network.
Adults who are blind or have low vision who want to continue enjoying card games and board games as independently as possible. Carers, family members, and orientation and mobility specialists supporting someone newly experiencing vision loss also use this guide to identify practical leisure options they can begin using immediately.
