Setting the Stage for Tactile Understanding, Real Objects and Accessories Pack

$56.40

Professional guidance helps The objects themselves are simple tactile materials, but meaningful use depends on a structured curriculum and guidance from a TVI. Professional recommendation is appropriate because incorrect or unsupported use reduces learning outcomes for children with visual impairments.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026

This is a replacement pack of real objects and accessories for the Setting the Stage for Tactile Understanding curriculum kit, designed to help young children with visual impairments develop tactile exploration and discrimination skills. The kit supports early learning activities where children learn to identify and understand objects through touch rather than sight — a foundational skill for braille readiness and daily independence. You're buying a replacement component, not a standalone curriculum; the full Setting the Stage for Tactile Understanding kit (APH item 1-08853-00) is required for context and instruction. This item has been discontinued by APH, so availability is limited and replacement sourcing may be a challenge going forward.
