What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
These tactile grass-surface tiles are replacement pieces for the Tactile Town 3-D Orientation & Mobility Kit, a hands-on learning system that helps blind and low-vision students build mental maps of neighborhood environments before navigating them in real life. The textured grassy sections represent lawn and park areas within the town layout, giving learners a tactile cue to differentiate outdoor spaces from streets, sidewalks, and buildings. This is a replacement/spare parts set — it only makes sense as part of an existing Tactile Town kit and isn't useful as a standalone purchase. Note that APH has discontinued this product, so availability is limited and replacement stock will not be replenished.
