What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This kit from APH gives students who are blind or have low vision the materials to build and interact with a personal calendar using tactile and large-format components. It's designed for students learning time concepts, date sequencing, and organizational skills — foundational cognitive tasks that are harder to access when standard print calendars aren't usable. The kit is a learning tool, not a finished product you hang on a wall; the act of constructing the calendar is part of the educational experience. Best used with a teacher or vision specialist who can guide how the calendar integrates into daily routines and IEP goals.
