Expandable Calendar Boxes, White

by American Printing House for the Blind

$235.00

Professional guidance helps The physical boxes require no assembly, but building an effective tangible schedule system demands professional knowledge of the individual student's sensory profile and symbolic understanding. An SLP or special education teacher needs to select and validate meaningful objects for each compartment. Incorrect object selection can result in a non-functional system, so professional_recommended is appropriate.

What it is

Summary

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

A set of small white compartmentalized boxes designed to hold objects that represent upcoming activities in a student's daily schedule. Each box holds a tangible symbol — a real object or texture associated with a specific activity — so a student can reach in, feel what's coming next, and build an understanding of daily sequence without relying on pictures or words. This is a tactile schedule system aimed at students who are nonverbal, deafblind, or have multiple disabilities and who aren't yet using symbolic (picture- or word-based) communication. It's a complete physical kit, but the real work is in selecting and preparing meaningful objects for each slot — that part requires someone who knows the student well, typically an SLP or special education teacher. The system has been discontinued by APH, so availability is limited to remaining stock.

  • With professional help
    1. An SLP or special education teacher with experience in tangible symbol systems should select objects that carry meaning for the individual student.
