APH Signature Guide
$17.78
The APH Signature Guide is a small aluminum frame with an opening that shows you where to sign. An elastic band across the opening helps keep your writing in line, and a rubber backing stops the frame from sliding on the page. It's pocket-sized, about 4.5 by 2.25 inches, so it's easy to carry to appointments, banks, or anywhere you need to sign a document. It's designed for ages 8 and up, and it's meant for someone who has trouble seeing where a signature line begins and ends.

Braille Beads: APH Starter Kit
$309.00
This starter kit gives students small plastic braille beads to string into jewelry, so they practice braille letters while making something they can wear. Each bead is a small rectangle with braille on one side and a printed letter on the other, and it has two holes for threading wire or cord. The kit also has image beads, such as a flower, peace sign, heart, and circle, which add variety to a design. Making jewelry lets a student plan a design or a word, sort beads by shape, size, or color, and build fine motor skills by threading. It works well in a classroom or at home, but an adult will need to supply the wire, cord, needles, and scissors for the stringing.

APH Light-Touch Perkins Brailler
$1,049.00
The APH Light-Touch Perkins Brailler is a manual braille writer that needs less finger pressure on the keys than a standard Perkins Brailler, so typing is faster and easier on the hands. It's a good fit for a braille learner or user who tires when pressing stiff keys, or who wants smoother, quicker writing. This is a stand-alone mechanical machine, so it doesn't connect to a computer or show braille on a screen.

Graph Benders
$99.24
Graph Benders lets teachers and students build graphs, charts, and diagrams that can be both seen and felt. The results are tactile and visual at once, and they hold up to repeated handling. That makes it a good fit for math and science lessons where a student who is blind or has low vision needs to explore a graph by touch alongside classmates who read it by sight. Because the graphs are physical and sturdy, a student can keep working with one over time instead of starting over.

Tactile Graphics Kit
$408.91
This kit gives teachers, braille transcribers, and orientation and mobility instructors a set of tools and materials for making their own raised-line maps, graphs, diagrams, and charts. It's meant for people who prepare tactile materials for students who read by touch, so a lesson or a route map can be matched to one learner instead of relying only on stock graphics. It's a professional's toolkit, not something a student uses alone, and it asks for some skill in planning and building a tactile image.

Life Science Tactile Graphics
$450.00
Life Science Tactile Graphics is a set of raised, colorful diagrams and figures that students can explore by touch. Each graphic carries labels in UEB (Unified English Braille), so a braille reader can follow the same science figures their classmates see in a textbook. It's meant for students who are blind or have low vision and need an accessible version of life science illustrations. A teacher of students with visual impairments will likely want to match the graphics to the lesson and teach the student how to read tactile images, since that skill takes practice.

It has 26 white plastic thermoform sheets (8 1/2 x 11 inches) holding 52 drawings of geometry concepts, figures, and relationships. The drawings are larger than those in braille textbooks, so they are easier to measure. It also comes with two specially adapted protractors, a teacher's guide in print and braille, and a storage binder. It is made for students age 12 and up, and it works best when a teacher or vision professional plans how it fits into the math lessons.

They are meant to be used in a health lesson led by a teacher, not handed over to study alone.

Orion TI-84 Plus Talking Graphing Calculator
$699.00
The Orion TI-84 Plus is a small talking add-on that clips onto the top of a standard TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. It lets someone who can't see the screen use the calculator through speech, sound, and vibration. It reads aloud everything on the screen and each key you press. Graphs can be explored by spoken description or with SonoGraph, which uses tones and vibration to show a graph's shape. Because the calculator itself is unchanged, a teacher can follow along using the same screen and keys. It also has a USB port for extra accessories and can send graphs to a printer or embosser (a machine that makes raised tactile copies). Earphones, a charger, and an audio and digital manual come with it.

(Louis) World geography and cultures (Braille)
$982.00
This is a braille-format volume from the Louis Database, an APH collection of reading and study materials for blind students, and its title points to world geography and cultures. At 56 pounds, it is a large, heavy set of braille pages rather than a single thin book. Because the evidence says very little about its grade level, contents, or number of volumes, check those details with the vendor before ordering. Schools may be able to buy it with Federal Quota funds.
