Tactile Graphics Kit: Line-Drawing Tool Kit

Summary

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

This kit provides the hand tools needed to draw raised-line tactile graphics by hand — things like embossing styluses, tracing wheels, and drawing boards used to create tactile images that a person who is blind or has low vision can read through touch. It's designed for teachers, TVIs (teachers of visually impaired students), and braille literacy specialists who need to produce custom tactile diagrams, maps, or illustrations for a student. This is a replacement item for the full Tactile Graphics Kit (APH catalog 1-08851-00), so if you're buying this standalone, you'll want to confirm it complements tools you already have. The kit supports hands-on tactile literacy instruction but requires the user to know how to produce tactile graphics effectively — there's a learning curve to getting clean, readable raised lines.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  Unpack tools and use with a tactile drawing surface (e.g., rubber mat or screen board) to begin creating raised-line graphics by hand.
• With professional help
  
  1. A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) or AT specialist should guide effective use of tactile graphic production techniques to ensure resulting graphics are readable by touch.
  2. Expect initial training or self-study before producing quality tactile graphics for student use.
