What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
These are replacement diagramming strips for the Picture Maker Wheatley Tactile Diagramming Kit — a system that lets people with visual impairments create and read raised-line diagrams, charts, and pictures by pressing plastic strips and shapes into a rubber drawing board. The strips themselves are the linear components used to form boxes, lines, and structural elements in tactile diagrams. This is a consumable replacement part, not a standalone tool — it only works as part of the Picture Maker Wheatley Kit (catalog 1-08838-00), so you'll need that base kit for these to be useful. Teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs) and O&M specialists are the primary users, using the full system to create instructional tactile graphics for students who are blind or have low vision. Federal Quota eligible, meaning students who qualify can receive this through APH's quota-funded program.
