Professional guidance helps These cards are replacement components for an existing professional AT system used with learners who are deafblind or have complex communication needs. The broader system requires professional oversight (TVI, SLP), but the cards themselves simply slot into the existing setup — hence professional_recommended rather than professional_required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

These are replacement black background cards used within APH's Tactile Connections and Match-It-Up Frames systems — tactile symbol-based communication and matching tools designed for people who are deafblind or have combined vision and cognitive/communication needs. The high-contrast black cards serve as the base onto which tactile symbols or objects are mounted, providing the visual/tactile contrast needed for learners with low vision to distinguish materials. You're buying a pack of 15 replacement cards only — not a complete kit — so these are only useful if you already own one of the compatible APH systems. Wear and tear on the cards is common with frequent use, making this a practical consumable replenishment rather than a standalone product.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Insert replacement cards into existing Tactile Connections or Match-It-Up Frames systems as needed — no assembly required.
  • With professional help
    An educational specialist, TVI (Teacher of the Visually Impaired), or SLP should manage the overall symbol system and vocabulary represented on these cards within the learner's communication program.
