What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 11, 2026
This is a large-print version of the OpenSciEd Biology Unit B.5 curriculum on Common Ancestry and Specialization, produced by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) for students with low vision who need standard classroom science materials in an accessible format. APH reformats these instructional units to meet large-print guidelines, so the content aligns with what sighted peers are studying — just rendered at a size and contrast level usable without magnification aids. It's a complete printed unit, not a device or software, and it's intended to slot directly into a general education science class for a student with a visual impairment. Federal Quota funds are available for this item, which is the primary funding path for eligible students through their state's APH quota allocation — families should check with their Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) before purchasing out of pocket.
