What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 11, 2026
These are the black foam box components with U-channel mounting hardware used in APH's Expandable Calendar Box system — a tactile calendar tool designed for students who are blind or have combined vision and cognitive disabilities. The calendar box system creates a physical, hands-on daily or weekly schedule using objects or tactile symbols, helping students understand time, sequence, and routine in a concrete way. This listing covers replacement parts only, not a complete calendar system. Note that APH has discontinued this product, so availability is limited — stock on hand is likely all that remains, and finding additional replacements will become increasingly difficult over time.
