What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a replacement tangle toy component for APH's Tools for Assessment and Development of Visual Skills (ToAD) Kit — a standardized assessment battery used by vision specialists to evaluate functional vision and visual-motor skills in students with visual impairments. The tangle toy is used as a tactile/visual manipulation object within structured assessment tasks, not as a standalone therapy tool. You'll need the original ToAD Kit (catalog #1-08152-00) for this replacement part to have any clinical function. Note that this item is discontinued, so sourcing may be difficult — contact APH directly to confirm availability before ordering.
