What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
This yardstick lets a student measure by touch or by sight. One edge has raised-line marks every 1/4 inch, with a braille number at each inch. The opposite edge has black large print marks, also in 1/4 inch steps. It's made of durable white plastic and has a hole for hanging, so it can be stored on a wall or hook. The tactile and large print markings sit on the same ruler, so a braille reader and a low vision reader can share it in a math or science class. It measures in inches only.
