In this energizing episode of Podcasts by Dr. Kirk Adams, Kirk, fresh from the Braille Challenge gala at Braille Institute in Los Angeles, talks with documentary filmmaker David Grabias and 18-year-old Christopher Morgan about Brailled It, a film about the Braille Challenge made largely by the blind kids who compete in it. Grabias recounts how, on a whim, he wandered into the Braille Institute near his LA office, discovered the Braille Challenge, and realized the participants themselves should be the filmmakers; his company, Artifact, handed small chest-mounted action cameras to about nine kids, and the footage from three of them, Christopher, Salome, and Isaiah, became the film.

2.) The Disability Dividend, Audited | By Aaron Di Blasi, Publisher, Access Information News | July 13, 2026

Here, Aaron Di Blasi, a lifetime engineer and Publisher of the Access Information News weekly newsletter, reviews The Disability Dividend, the new 2026 book by Dr. Kirk Adams, the former President and CEO of the American Foundation for the Blind.

Reading all 182 pages as three people at once, the computer engineer who wants to see the math, the publisher who reaches more than 89,000 disabled professionals every week, and the advocate whose company exists to make information accessible, he puts Adams’s central claim, that hiring people with disabilities isn’t charity but a measurable competitive advantage, on the bench and pulls it apart.

Editor: David Woodbridge

---

Editor Since: February 6, 2023

Location: Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia

Time Zone: Australia Eastern Standard Time (AEST/AEDT) (GMT+10)

In addition to serving as an Editor to Access Information News David also serves as an Editor to the Top Tech Tidbits publication and is also the National Commercial Assistive Technology Advisor for Vision Australia where he has worked since 1990. Over this time he has assisted people who are blind or vision impaired in their home, education, and work settings to take advantage of the benefits of using assistive and main stream technology.

In the last seventeen years, he has also been involved with evaluating technology for use by people who are blind or vision impaired covering both low and high tech equipment (including Microsoft, Samsung, Google, Amazon, and Apple). David is also one of the key spokespersons for Vision Australia relating to technology.

He has been an Apple Ambassador for Apple Australia since 2009 with a group of other Ambassadors / Apple Distinguished Educators (ADE)‘s covering the range of Apple’s Accessibility solutions throughout Australia.

David produces a range of podcasts (since 2011) covering Apple and other technologies which are distributed on his own podcast (http://davidwoodbr.podbean.com). In addition, he also has a regular Talking Tech program (since 2013) which can be heard every Tuesday at 4:30 Eastern Summer Time on Vision Australia Radio Melbourne (available online) or via https://omny.fm/shows/talking-tech-vision-australia-radio

David also runs a weekly Tech Monday where people can chat about assistive and main stream technology, share information, and any tips and tricks.

David lost his sight when he was 8 years old and had to learn Braille. Since then, he completed high school, went to Sydney University receiving a Social Work degree, spent 4 years drug and alcohol counselling, and then moved into his current job.

As a person who is blind, David believes that as a user of the technology that he recommends to others, that he is well situated to look at the strengths and shortcomings of the assistive technology that he comes across in both his professional and personal life, in particular, mainstream technology that is accessible.

In addition to his weekly contributions to Access Information News and Top Tech Tidbits, David’s regularly occurring activities are his weekly tech radio show, bi-monthly exploring tech webinars for Vision Australia, his iSee podcast when something of note grabs his attention, and the weekly Tech Monday chat sessions.
