What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This braille-format guidebook accompanies the APH Portable Sound Source: Sport Edition, a device used in orientation and mobility (O&M) training to help people who are blind develop sound localization skills — the ability to identify where a sound is coming from and move toward it. The guidebook provides instructions, activities, and curriculum support in braille for O&M specialists and learners working through sound localization exercises. This is an accessory, not a standalone product — it only makes sense if you already have or are acquiring the Portable Sound Source: Sport Edition hardware. Note that this product is discontinued, so availability may be limited to remaining stock.
