From six dots, a world unfolds

The lobby of The Dot Experience is where many people will meet the daily realities of people living with blindness for the very first time.

As the new front door to American Printing House (APH)—the world’s largest nonprofit creating accessible learning experiences through educational, workplace, and independent living tools for people who are blind or low vision—the lobby invites every visitor who arrives on campus to discover the power of people, the power of touch, and the power of braille. Not as abstract ideas, but as forces shaping a more inclusive future.

The six-dot system that inspired our name comes to life here, welcoming every visitor to connect with a movement to educate, empower, and encourage literacy for all.
