What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
SQUID is a tactile activities magazine from APH designed to make tactile literacy engaging rather than purely instructional — think puzzles, games, and exploratory activities presented through raised-line graphics and braille. It's aimed at children and young adults who are blind or have low vision and are learning to read and interpret tactile graphics, building the finger-sensitivity and spatial reasoning skills that underpin braille literacy. Each issue is a standalone publication, so Issue 4 works on its own without needing earlier issues. This particular issue is discontinued, meaning availability will be limited to remaining stock or secondary sources — worth confirming before counting on it for curriculum planning.
