(Louis) College Prep Algebra (Tactile)

by American Printing House for the Blind

$984.00

Professional guidance helps The tactile materials themselves require no setup to physically use, but meaningful educational benefit depends on a TVI or qualified educator integrating them into structured math instruction and an IEP. Wrong pacing, missing context, or lack of braille literacy support would significantly undermine outcomes — so professional_recommended is appropriate even though the materials don't require clinical fitting.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 3, 2026

This is a tactile edition of a College Prep Algebra curriculum produced by the American Printing House for the Blind, designed for students who are blind or have significant vision loss and rely on touch-based materials to access printed content. Rather than standard ink-print diagrams and equations, the materials use raised-line graphics and embossed text so a student can explore graphs, number lines, and algebraic notation through their fingertips. It's intended for a high school student preparing for college-level math who uses tactile learning materials as their primary access method — typically alongside a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) who integrates the materials into instruction. This is a physical curriculum kit, not software, and it's listed as discontinued by APH, so availability is limited and prospective buyers should confirm stock before ordering.
