What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
This classroom pack gives you 15 paper maps of the United States, each printed with raised lines you can feel by touch. The labels appear in both regular print and Unified English Braille (UEB), so a student who reads braille and a sighted teacher or classmate can work from the same map. It suits a geography lesson where a student who is blind or has low vision needs to explore the country's shapes and layout by touch. Because it comes as a set of paper copies, a teacher can hand one to each student or keep spares on hand.
