AnimalWatch Vi Suite (for iPad)

Contact vendor for pricing

Setup with instructions The app itself is free and downloads directly, but students with visual impairments using it will need VoiceOver or other accessibility settings configured on the iPad, and the physical suite materials need to be sourced separately. A TVI would meaningfully improve outcomes by aligning it to IEP goals, making guided_setup the right tier rather than self_serve.

What it is

Summary

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

AnimalWatch Vi Suite is a math word problem app from APH designed specifically for students with visual impairments. The app presents math story problems featuring animals, built with full screen reader compatibility and accessible design so students who are blind or have low vision can navigate and solve problems independently on an iPad. It's a self-contained learning tool — download it free from the App Store and it works right away, though the 'suite' includes physical accompanying materials from APH that may need to be ordered separately. Because it's built for students with visual impairments doing math skill-building, it works best when incorporated into a teacher's or TVI's instruction plan rather than used in total isolation.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Download the app for free from the Apple App Store and open it — no account or pairing required.
  • With a guide
    1. Enable VoiceOver on the iPad if the student uses a screen reader before launching the app.
    2. Review APH product page to identify any physical supplemental materials included in the suite and order if needed (allow 1-2 weeks for shipping).
    3. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    1. A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) or special education teacher can integrate the app into math IEP goals and monitor skill progression.
    2. Expect 1 session to align app use with the student's current math level and accessibility setup.
