I-M-ABLE: Individualized Meaning-Centered Approach to Braille Literacy Education(EPUB)

$34.95

I-M-ABLE is a teaching method for braille literacy that is built around each student's own interests and needs. It is meant for children who find learning braille hard, and it aims to make braille lessons more engaging. This version is a digital EPUB book, so you will need an EPUB reader app or program to open it, and it is written as a guide for the adults who teach rather than as a workbook for the child.

Beecher Mirage Binoculars 7 X 30

$695.00

The Beecher Mirage 7 X 30 is a head-worn binocular that magnifies distant and mid-range sights 7 times, so someone with low vision can see more detail. Wearing it on your head keeps your hands free, and at about 3 ounces it is lighter than earlier Beecher head-worn models. It focuses from 8 feet to infinity with a 9-degree field of view, and an extended eyepiece is built in to widen what you can see. Because the focus range starts at 8 feet, it's meant for viewing at a distance rather than reading close up. Other magnification options are offered in this line, so it helps to try the strength you need before buying.

Bright Line Reading Guide: Pink (2-pack)

$11.00

The Bright Line Reading Guide is a pink see-through sheet you lay over a page of text. It tints the print, cuts glare, and boosts contrast. A black reference line on the sheet helps a reader keep their place as they move down the page. You can trim it to any size and punch three holes in it to fit a binder. This pack has two pink guides in a vinyl pouch.

Daylight Smart Clip-on Lamp

$37.50

This rechargeable LED lamp clips onto a book, book holder, needlework frame, table, or laptop and puts extra light right on what you're reading or working on. A flexible arm lets you aim the beam where you need it, and you can pick from three brightness levels. A full charge takes about 2-3 hours and gives roughly 4 hours of light, so there are no batteries to swap. It's a good fit for someone who reads or does close handwork and finds regular room lighting too dim.

Google Pixel 11 Pro

Est. $999–$1,299

The Google Pixel 11 Pro is an Android smartphone sold unlocked, so you pick your own carrier and plan. It has a bright display (up to 3600 nits), a Gemini assistant for everyday tasks like finding information and drafting ideas, and a HiLight feature meant to keep you in touch with your phone without staring at the screen. This is a general-purpose phone, not a device built for one disability. Its value as assistive tech comes from the accessibility settings and voice features you turn on and tune to your needs. You'll also need to arrange carrier service yourself.

Beecher Mirage 6x30 Binocular for Distance Viewing

$695.00

The Beecher Mirage 6x30 is a pair of head-mounted binoculars you wear like glasses, so your hands stay free while you look at things far away. It magnifies 6 times, focuses from about 7 feet out to infinity, and weighs only 3 ounces. Because the frame lines itself up with your eyes and the viewing field has no rim, it's meant to give a wide view for many people with low vision. You can use it for things like sporting events, concerts, theater, church services, museums, bird watching, or watching TV from a normal seating distance. A case comes with it, and close-up lens accessories are sold separately if you also want help with near tasks.

Complete Braille Sudoku Set

$49.95

This set lets blind and low vision players do Sudoku by touch. You get a wooden board with 81 peg holes, arranged in nine 3x3 squares, plus a drawstring bag of Braille number pegs. Each peg has a raised line at the top and an indent at the bottom, so you can orient it quickly and read every number straight up and down. A Braille book of 100 Sudoku puzzles with solutions is included. The board is about 10 inches square and the whole game weighs just under 2 pounds, so it is easy to carry to a table or a friend's house.

Big Button Talking Calculator With Function Replay

$15.95

This calculator speaks each number and function aloud as you press the keys, and it has big, color-coded buttons that are easy to see. A Repeat key replays your most recent entry, and Auto replay reads back the whole calculation so you can check your work. It has off, low, and high volume settings and an earphone jack for private listening. It can report numbers as whole units or one digit at a time. Headphones and the 2 AA batteries are not included, and it shuts itself off after 5 minutes of sitting idle.

Europa Slim Aluminum Folding Cane - 56 inches

$23.95

This 56-inch aluminum folding cane gives you a lightweight way to check the path ahead and signal to others that you may have low vision. It folds down for carrying and stays put with a double elastic tension cord, and the slim rubber grip comes with an elastic wrist loop. White reflective tape on the upper sections and red on the lower sections help drivers and others see it, and the joints are made to avoid wobble and sticking. It's made in the USA. Cane length matters a lot for safe use, so make sure 56 inches is the right height for the person before ordering.

Extra Large Print Crossword Books

$5.45

These crossword books are printed for people who love puzzles but find standard grids too small to read comfortably. Each book holds 43 puzzles, and every puzzle spreads across two pages so the grid and clues stay big and easy to see. The squares are half an inch wide, the type is 20 point, and the puzzles cover a mix of subjects. They come in two volumes, so you can pick up one or both.

Paint by Number Safari - Under the Sea

$45.65

This paint-by-number art set has an under-the-sea theme and is made by the American Printing House for the Blind. It introduces beginning and intermediate young artists to basic art ideas, nature, and the colors of the sea.

Building on Patterns: Primary Braille Literacy Program: Second Grade: Unit 4 Teacher's Edition, Print

$33.00

This is the print teacher's edition for Unit 4 of the second grade level of the Building on Patterns braille literacy program. It is written for the teacher who guides a young student through the unit's lessons, such as a teacher of students with visual impairments or a classroom teacher working with one. The manual is sold on its own, so you'll also need the Second Grade Unit 4 Student Kit in UEB (Unified English Braille) for the student to use.

Linear Hermosa Low Vision Sport Style Watch

$29.95

This analog wristwatch has a 1.3-inch face with bold, simple numbers at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions, so the time is easy to pick out at a glance. It's a unisex sport style with a blue molded-rubber strap and a rotating bezel, which you can turn to time short tasks. It's water resistant to 100 feet and uses a Japanese quartz movement. Because it's a standard analog watch, it shows the time visually only and doesn't speak or vibrate.

Braille Learning Fidget Keychain (White)

$9.95

This keychain fidget has a six-dot Braille cell that you press and move with your fingers, so you can form letters and symbols by touch and learn how a cell is built. It's made from durable 3D-printed material and has an attached keychain, so it clips onto a backpack, purse, keys, or classroom kit for practice anywhere. It works for blind, low vision, and sighted learners, including kids, adults new to Braille, and classrooms, and it doubles as a plain fidget toy. It's a hands-on way to get familiar with the cell, not a full Braille curriculum.

Europa Folding Cane with Tie On Loop Tip - 46 inches

$23.95

This 46-inch aluminum cane folds down in four sections, so it tucks into a bag or pocket when you are not using it. It weighs about 8 ounces and has a rubber golf-style grip and an elastic wrist loop so it stays with you if you let go. The tapered shaft has reflective tape (white on five sections, red on the bottom one) that makes the cane easier for others to see. A double elastic cord pulls the sections firmly together when it is unfolded, and the tip is easy to swap out when it wears down. The tip is a tie-on loop style, which some users like for sweeping and feeling the ground ahead. Cane length matters, so it helps to confirm 46 inches suits the user's height before ordering.

Braille Pill Box, 7 day compartments

$1.45

This weekly pill organizer has seven compartments, one for each day, with braille markings on each day so a blind person can find the right compartment by touch. It's a simple way to keep a week of pills sorted without needing someone to read the labels. The box is 6 inches long, 1 1/4 inches wide and 1 inch tall, small enough to fit in a drawer or bag. It comes in white or blue depending on what the manufacturer ships, and you can't choose the color. It's not returnable once opened.

Scanmarker Reader Scanning Pen

$199.00

The Scanmarker Reader is a pocket-sized pen that you slide along a line of printed text, and it reads that line aloud through an app on a computer or smartphone. It works with 6 to 24 point print and more than 70 languages, and on screen you can change the voice, reading speed, font size, colors and spacing to make the text easier to follow. It can read as you scan or after the scan is done, and it comes with a guide that helps the pen stay on one line. It connects by Bluetooth, so the computer or phone needs Bluetooth 4.1 and an internet connection. It scans one line at a time, so it suits short passages better than long documents.

OrCam Read

$1,990.00

The OrCam Read is a small handheld reader, about the size of a marker, that speaks printed or on-screen text aloud when you point it at the page and press the button. You can capture a full page at once, or use one of two laser guides to pick where reading starts. Voice commands let you ask for just the headlines, a certain article, or dates, phone numbers and amounts, instead of listening to everything. It works on books, bills, food labels and phone or computer screens, and it can pick up distant signs. It also has a built-in light for dim rooms, and it runs offline, so no internet is needed. It suits someone who finds print tiring or hard to read because of low vision, dyslexia or reading fatigue.

Picture Speakerphone 40db

$46.95

This corded speakerphone helps when a standard phone is hard to hear or hard to see. You can boost the incoming sound to 20, 30, or 40 dB, and a red flashing light shows when a call is coming in. Two buttons hold photo-labeled numbers for one-touch dialing, and nine memory slots let you call saved numbers with two presses. The buttons are easy to see, and a two-way speakerphone lets you talk hands-free. It needs no batteries or power adapter, and saved numbers stay in memory if the power goes out.

To Love This Life: Quotations by Helen Keller(Print)

$21.95

This is a print edition of a curated collection of quotations by Helen Keller, published by the American Printing House for the Blind — an organization that primarily serves the low vision and blindness community. The book itself is general-interest reading material rather than a functional AT device, but APH's publication of it in print (alongside likely accessible formats) reflects their mission to make meaningful reading material available across formats. It's appropriate for anyone interested in Helen Keller's writings and philosophy, whether or not they have a visual impairment. At $21.95 it's an affordable and straightforward purchase — just note that this specific listing is the print edition, so readers who need large print, braille, or digital formats should confirm available alternatives before ordering, and the made-to-order fulfillment means delivery takes 10–14 business days.

Extended Reach 24-Watt Low Vision Floor Lamp

$159.99

This floor lamp gives you bright, daylight-style light across a large work area, thanks to an 18-inch shade and a 24-watt tube. It's aimed at close, detailed tasks like sewing, needlework, crafting, woodworking, or working with small parts, where seeing true colors and fine detail matters. The light is described as low-heat and glare-reducing, with a bulb rated for up to 10,000 hours. Because the shade is so long, it suits bigger projects and wider surfaces better than a small spot lamp would.

Tactile Graphics Kit: Case

$28.90

This is a replacement storage case for the Tactile Graphics Kit (item 1-08851-00), made for APH's tactile learning materials. It measures about 13.5 × 12.5 × 3.45 inches and weighs just under a pound. Only the case is sold here, so you'll need the original kit it's meant to hold.

ZoomText Magnifier/Reader

$545 every year

Also from $93.50 every year

ZoomText Magnifier/Reader is Windows software that makes everything on your computer screen larger and easier to see. It also reads aloud, echoing what you type and announcing key program activity, so you can rely on hearing as well as seeing. It's built for people with low vision who still use the screen but need it enlarged and enhanced. Because it's software rather than a standalone device, it needs a Windows computer to run on.

Walters 8x20 Monocular

$208.95

This small 8x monocular magnifies things at a distance, like a sign, a bus number, or a whiteboard across the room, and it can focus as close as 11 inches. You can hold it up to your eye by hand, or unscrew the eye piece and attach it to your eyeglasses with a separate mounting clamp. It weighs about 2.5 ounces and is under 4 inches long, so it's easy to carry. A neck strap and case come with it. The field of view is narrow at 7 degrees, so you'll see a small area at a time and need a steady hand to find your target.
