What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a set of eight black Veltex-covered pages designed as replacement components for the APH CVI Book Builder — a tactile book construction system for children with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI). CVI affects how the brain processes visual information rather than the eyes themselves, and children with CVI often respond better to high-contrast, simplified visual stimuli against a dark background; the black Veltex surface provides exactly that, while also accepting tactile symbols and objects that adhere to the fabric. These are replacement pages only — they do nothing on their own without the CVI Book Builder base kit and the symbols, objects, or images an educator attaches to them. An educator, vision specialist, or TVI (teacher of students with visual impairments) would typically design and assemble the books to match a specific child's CVI range and learning goals, so this isn't a grab-and-go item even for someone who already owns the base kit.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Pages can be handled and examined right away — no assembly required. - With a guide
- Attach pages to the CVI Book Builder binder or ring system from the base kit.
- Apply tactile symbols, high-contrast images, or objects to the Veltex surface using the hook-and-loop or adhesive materials included with the base kit.
- With professional help
- A Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI) or certified CVI specialist should assess the child's CVI range and determine appropriate visual complexity, symbol placement, and content for each book page.
- Plan for ongoing collaboration with the TVI to adjust materials as the child progresses through CVI phases — this is part of a larger, individualized low vision educational program.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
