What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This portable three-panel board is covered entirely in hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) material, letting teachers and students attach tactile symbols, picture cards, object cues, or communication symbols that can be repositioned and reorganized during activities. It's well-suited for students with visual impairments who benefit from a structured, tactile workspace — whether for literacy tasks, daily schedules, matching activities, or communication displays. The board folds flat for transport and stands upright on a desk or table independently, which makes it practical in classroom and therapy settings. APH lists this under Visual Efficiency and Expanded Core Curriculum, so it's designed for educational use with the VI population specifically — not a general-purpose display board. At this price point it's a straightforward tool, but it works best when paired with a library of tactile or large-print symbols; the board itself doesn't come with any attachable materials.
