Professional guidance helps The eBook is free and easy to download, and the activities are simple to open. But it is built for teachers to assess and develop visual skills. Choosing the right activities and making sense of how a child responds works best with guidance from a vision professional. Without that, the results are hard to interpret.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

TADPOLE: Interactive Images is an eBook of tablet-based visual activities that teachers can use to check and build a child's visual skills. The activities center on everyday play and daily-life scenes, and they cover things like figure-ground discrimination (picking an object out of a busy background), visual attention and memory, eye-hand coordination, object recognition, visual sequencing, and simple cause and effect. It also supports size and shape identification and color and shape matching. It's built for tablets and meant to replace the earlier TADPOLE set, and the iBook is a free download from the App Store.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Download the iBook from the App Store and open it on your tablet.
  • With a guide
    1. Browse the activities and pick ones that match the visual skill you want to look at, such as color matching or visual attention.
    2. Try each activity yourself first so you know how the images respond to touch. Plan about 20-30 minutes.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or similar vision professional can choose activities that fit the child, run them as an assessment, and track progress over time.
