What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the braille-format teacher's guidebook for the ToAD (Tools for Assessment and Development of Visual Skills) Kit, a structured assessment and intervention system for evaluating and building visual skills in students with visual impairments. The guide walks educators through administration, scoring, and interpretation of the ToAD activities — printed in braille so that a blind or low-vision educator or specialist can use it independently alongside sighted colleagues. It's an optional companion to the ToAD Kit (sold separately, item 1-08152-00), not a standalone assessment tool. Teachers or TVIs (Teachers of the Visually Impaired) who don't already own the ToAD Kit will need to purchase it before this guidebook has much practical use.
