TADPOLE: Practitioner's Guidebook, Large Print with CD-ROM

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 17, 2026

This is the large-print practitioner's guidebook (with accompanying CD-ROM) for the TADPOLE assessment kit — a structured tool used by educators and vision specialists to evaluate tactile and visual developmental skills in young children with visual impairments or multiple disabilities. The guidebook walks practitioners through administering and interpreting TADPOLE assessments, providing protocols, scoring guidance, and instructional recommendations. It's a replacement/supplementary component for professionals who already own the TADPOLE Kit and need an accessible format for the manual itself. The large-print format serves sighted practitioners with low vision; a braille edition exists as a separate option. This is a reference document, not a standalone assessment — it only makes sense alongside the full TADPOLE Kit.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  Use alongside the TADPOLE Kit — open the guidebook and follow the assessment protocols with the physical kit materials.
• With professional help
  
  1. Intended for vision specialists, teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs), or early intervention practitioners trained in developmental assessment.
  2. Familiarity with the TADPOLE Kit and early childhood visual assessment is assumed — this guidebook does not provide general AT training.
