Geometry Tactile Graphics Kit

Summary

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

This kit provides a set of tactile raised-line diagrams covering geometry concepts — shapes, angles, spatial relationships, and figures — produced through thermoforming so the lines and forms stand up from the page and can be read by touch. It's designed for blind or low-vision students working through standard geometry curriculum who need non-visual access to visual-spatial content that simply can't be conveyed through braille text alone. The kit is Federal Quota eligible, meaning schools serving students with visual impairments can obtain it through APH's quota funding system. These are ready-to-use physical materials, not software — no setup or devices required, just hand the sheet to the student. The main limitation is that the kit covers a fixed set of geometry topics, so it may not map perfectly to every curriculum sequence or textbook.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  
  1. Open the kit and sort diagrams by geometry concept or unit.
  2. Match diagrams to the relevant lesson and hand directly to the student for tactile exploration.
• With professional help
  
  1. A teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) should orient the student to tactile graphic reading conventions if they haven't used raised-line diagrams before.
  2. TVI can sequence diagrams to align with the student's curriculum and supplement with braille labels or verbal descriptions as needed.
