What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is the braille edition of the guidebook that accompanies APH's Basic Science Tactile Graphics kit — a curriculum resource that pairs raised tactile diagrams with explanatory text so students with visual impairments can access science concepts like cell structure, ecosystems, or physical processes alongside their sighted peers. The guidebook itself is the text companion, not the tactile graphics plates; you'll need the main Basic Science Tactile Graphics kit for the full resource. It's designed for use by teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) or the students themselves when reading braille independently. Note that APH classifies this as an optional add-on rather than a core component — check whether your existing kit already includes a guidebook before ordering.
