interesting.

4. submit product ideas to APH  -
The American Printing House for the Blind gives serious consideration to 
ideas for products <http://www.aph.org/products/prodideas.htm#FORM> that 
improve the lives of persons who are blind or visually impaired. We are 
especially interested in product ideas that support Core and/or Expanded 
Core Curricula, since both are essential to the education of students 
and clients who are blind or visually impaired.

Best,
