Below are some links where you will find descriptive origami instructions in different formats. These include sites where authors have created text-only instructions that are specifically geared towards blind and/or visually impaired users or where the description is clear enough to follow without having to consult diagrams or pictures. With regard to format, the links include text-only instructions on the site itself, downloadable text files as well as video/audio descriptions in the form of tutorials or classes. Links will be added as they become available, so please feel free to let me know if you come across any origami-related links that may be of particular interest to blind/VI users.
