What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
Match Sticks is a matching/pattern game adapted by APH specifically for people with low vision, including those with cortical visual impairment (CVI). CVI is a brain-based visual condition common in children with neurological differences, and standard games with small, detailed visuals rarely work for this population — this product is designed around the high-contrast, simplified visual presentation that CVI users need. It falls under the Expanded Core Curriculum category of visual efficiency, meaning it's intended to build functional vision skills through structured play, not just provide entertainment. This product has been discontinued by APH, so availability is limited to remaining stock or secondhand sources, and replacement parts won't be available.
