Product design question

Design an education product for blind children.

What this question tests

Inclusive product design for a vulnerable, specific user group, requiring genuine accessibility thinking beyond a features checklist.

Clarify the age range and level of vision impairment to design for.
Identify the core learning job: literacy, numeracy, or general subject learning, and confirm scope.
Identify pain points: most educational content is visual, and existing tools are add ons rather than built for blind use.
Prioritize a strong audio first experience with tactile feedback, rather than a screen reader bolted onto a visual product.
Propose features like spatial audio cues for navigation and braille compatible output for written work.
Define success with lesson completion rate and comprehension assessment scores compared to sighted peers using standard tools.

Designs audio first from the ground up rather than retrofitting a visual product with a screen reader.
Names concrete features, spatial audio navigation and braille output, specific to blind children's needs.
Sets a meaningful success bar, comparable comprehension scores to sighted peers, not just usage numbers.
Considers caregiver and teacher involvement, since young children often need supported learning.

Treats blindness as a single category without distinguishing partial vision from full blindness.
Designs a generic accessibility layer instead of an audio first core experience.

How would you test comprehension without relying on visual assessment tools?
How would you involve teachers of the visually impaired in the design process?
How would this differ for early readers versus older children learning complex subjects?
