What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the braille-format mentoring manual from APH's Braille Connection program — a structured curriculum designed to pair sighted and braille-reading mentors with students who are learning to read braille. The manual guides the mentor through a sequence of activities and lessons, supporting one-on-one braille instruction in school or community settings. It's a replacement component for either the Print Kit or Braille Kit versions of the full Braille Connection program, so it only makes sense to purchase this if you already have one of those kits and need a spare or replacement manual. This is a teaching resource rather than a standalone learning system — someone still needs to facilitate the mentoring relationship and work through the curriculum with a student.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Use alongside the existing Braille Connection kit materials — no additional setup required for the manual itself. - With professional help
A teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or orientation and mobility specialist should oversee the mentoring program and ensure the curriculum aligns with the student's IEP goals.
