Peppermint_M Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 Canes are used to indicate the impairment of the user: Quote An all-white cane means that the user is completely blind and has no usable vision. A white cane with a red bottom means that the user has low, but some usable vision. A white and red striped cane means that the user is totally blind and/or deaf Expand I work with a gentleman with a white cane with a red bottom, he can see enough to navigate, but we ensure he has clear pathways from his workspace to other locations (canteen etc) and we have an evacuation plan to help him in the event of a fire or other event. (It also means I need to inspect the Fire Extinguisher stations on his path are not moved or altered, as they are a special type of station to prevent him stumbling on them. Fire Marshal duties!). My workplace is very integrated. Another feature LEGO should introduce is a crutch style that has the armband, not just the bigger "armpit" kind. My sister uses one, she would love to have it included to normalise them for people. Quote

Expand Now that's a piece I'd like to have in my collection. I have kinda been a foamer for collecting minifig accessories lately, just in case I decide to make a specific character. A crutch with an armband sounds just perfect for my minifig accessory collection. Quote

You know how we clown on this forum. Some of us say "unfollowed" as a playful joke towards you not really understanding something or asking a silly question. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 One thing we might get is a Quad-cane if we ever have Up themed sets/figures. Quote

I would love to see it to come in Lego world one day! Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 The four footed design would allow it to clutch a stud, it would be great to add to the accessories available. Quote
williejm Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Great to see the representation continuing to grow - not only does the new Friends’ line up include a visibly disabled person (Autumn), but also a disabled dog with rear ‘wheels’ 😍 Quote
Driver Brandon Grumman Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Ok! So no bad intentions here but.....I wonder if Lego could do a head to represent a female with hirsutism. Like if they were to make a female's head, but add like a light mustache or a beard. Though....it probably doesn't count as a disability. It's more of a physical situation. I mean I figured that since they had torsos to represent muscular men and hair pieces to resemble bald headed men (though that can really be achieved by just not giving them a hair/head piece, I figure it would be good. But feel free to disagree. Edited September 23, 2023 by The Brick Boss Quote
El Garfio Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 We have people with vitiligo A blind woman in the Friend's main street (the cane should be better red and white as @JaBaCaDaBra said (in most countries the red and white cane is an standard for blind people) We have a head with audio aid dispositive (in the creator's main street and now in halloween BAM blisters) We have Autumn We have the boy with the adapted ski in the new friend's winter sets And there are legs with protesic foot that Lego could reuse for a city character Quote

Brickset has a list of sets with disabilities representation here, though some liberties with the definition are taken (such as including pirates). Quote
