How the Dot Vote works

The Dot Vote uses six dots to bring together blind positivity, sex positivity, and access. Six dots recognize resources that meaningfully include blind people, either by centering blindness or by demonstrating accessible work and tailored learning in partnership with the blind community. A resource does not have to be blindness-specific to earn six dots when that work supports the rating.

A 5.5-dot rating recognizes substantial blind inclusion with a specific reservation explained in the review.

Broader material that is valuable and adaptable, without that demonstrated work with blind people, can receive up to five dots. Lower scores help name barriers, visual assumptions, missing access, or harmful framing. Explain your experience so others can understand the score.

“Not ready to rate” is not a negative rating. A comment without a score does not count as a numeric rating. Only published numeric ratings are included in a resource’s score and rating count. BSAN updates these after reviewing contributions.

Share only what you choose. You do not need to disclose intimate experiences to explain whether a resource worked for you.
