What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the braille edition of the instructor guidebook for APH's 'Setting the Stage for Tactile Understanding' curriculum — a program designed to help teach tactile literacy and tactile discrimination skills to students who are blind or have significant visual impairments. The guidebook provides the instructional framework, lesson guidance, and activity structure for educators, interveners, or therapists delivering the program. It's not a standalone curriculum kit; it's a companion or replacement reference document intended for the adult leading the sessions, not the learner directly. Teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) and deafblind specialists will get the most out of this, and it works alongside the full tactile understanding kit sold separately — check whether the full kit is already in your school's AT inventory before ordering.
