Description

Go beyond the galleries and step inside the world’s largest nonprofit dedicated to creating educational materials, assistive technology and accessible products for people who are blind or low vision.

On this guided tour of the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) production facility in Louisville, you’ll see firsthand how specialized materials, braille books, tactile graphics and innovative learning tools are designed, produced and distributed around the world.
Discover how braille and tactile graphics are embossed, listen to an audiobook recording sessions, and learn how educational tools—from braillewriters and large-print textbooks to adaptive software, teaching aids and performance assessments—help expand access to education, employment and independent living.

Tours of the APH factory take place at 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, 2:00 pm, and 3:00 pm EST daily.
