What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a replacement accessories kit — including caulk — for the APH Tactile Connections: Symbols for Communication system, a tactile AAC tool used with learners who are deafblind or have combined vision and communication needs. The original Tactile Connections system uses tactile symbols (objects and textured representations) to help early communicators make choices, express needs, and build symbolic understanding before or alongside formal language systems. Caulk is used to attach tactile symbols to communication boards or calendar boxes, so this replacement pack lets teachers or specialists replenish supplies without purchasing the full kit again. This is a consumable accessory, not a standalone product — it only makes sense if you already have the Tactile Connections base system. Federal Quota eligibility means it can be ordered through a state's APH quota allocation for students with visual impairments, which is worth confirming with your TVI before purchasing out of pocket.

- A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) or SLP familiar with tactile symbol systems should oversee how caulk is used to mount symbols in the learner's communication system.
- Integration into a student's AAC or calendar box routine typically happens within the student's existing IEP-driven programming.
