What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is the Braille-format instructor or facilitator manual for the Teaching Touch program, a tactile learning curriculum from APH designed to help students develop touch discrimination and tactile reading readiness skills. It pairs with the Teaching Touch Kit and is intended for teachers, orientation and mobility specialists, or vision rehabilitation therapists working with students who are blind or have significant visual impairments. This manual is a companion document, not a standalone program — you'll need the full Teaching Touch Kit to actually deliver the activities. The Braille edition is sold separately from the kit (it's listed as an optional add-on), so purchasers running the program without a Braille-fluent instructor may not need it, but it's essential for instructors who read Braille themselves.
