Professional guidance helps This is a curriculum guidebook that requires a trained professional (TVI, SLP, or early interventionist) to implement meaningfully. A family alone could read it, but applying a tactile symbol communication system correctly requires professional knowledge of the learner's visual, cognitive, and communication profile. Incorrect or unsupported implementation risks poor communication outcomes.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

This is the large-print Spanish-language guidebook for Tactile Connections, a symbol-based communication curriculum developed by the American Printing House for the Blind. Tactile Connections teaches tactile symbols as a communication system — intended for children or adults with visual impairments who are also deafblind, have multiple disabilities, or are in early stages of developing literacy and expressive communication. The guidebook supports teachers, early interventionists, and caregivers in implementing the tactile symbol system, and this edition serves Spanish-speaking families and professionals. It's a companion resource to the full Tactile Connections kit, not a standalone curriculum — you'll need the complete Tactile Connections materials for the actual symbol objects and activity sequences. Federal Quota eligible, meaning it can be ordered through the APH quota system for qualified students through their state's vision services program.

    Open the guidebook and review the symbol system overview and communication framework.

    1. Coordinate with a teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or early interventionist to align the guidebook content with the student's current communication goals.

  • With professional help
    1. A TVI or speech-language pathologist (SLP) familiar with tactile symbol systems should guide implementation and symbol selection for the individual learner.
    2. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
