What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 15, 2026
This is a tactile history resource from APH's Louis database — a collection of accessible educational materials produced in tactile and braille formats for students who are blind or have low vision. The Louis database is APH's catalog of accessible textbooks and supplementary materials, and this item is a history title reproduced with tactile graphics and/or braille so it can be used alongside standard classroom curriculum. It's designed for K-12 students who need an accessible version of history content — think timelines, maps, and diagrams rendered as raised-line tactile graphics with accompanying braille text. This is a standalone physical product shipped to the student or their school, not a digital download. Federal Quota funds are available, which means eligible students in the US can receive this through their state's annual quota allocation from APH — but the specific history content covered is not detailed in the listing, so confirm the exact title and grade level match your curriculum before ordering.
