Sound Matching Board I: Soft-Sounding Cylinders

by American Printing House for the Blind

$8.25

Setup with instructions The cylinders themselves require no setup, but meaningful use depends on having the complete Sound Matching Board I and a teacher or early intervention specialist to guide the matching activity. guided_setup reflects that the activity works with simple adult facilitation rather than professional clinical assessment.

What it is

Summary

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

This is a replacement set of soft-sounding cylinders for APH's Sound Matching Board I, a tactile and auditory matching activity designed for young children who are blind or have low vision. The board teaches cause-and-effect and sensory discrimination by having children shake cylinders and match them by the sounds they produce — a foundational skill for early learning and sensory development. This listing is a replacement part only, not the complete board; you'll need the original Sound Matching Board I to use these cylinders meaningfully. At under $9, it's a low-cost way to restore a damaged or incomplete set, and it's Federal Quota eligible, meaning schools can purchase it through APH's allocation system for students who are blind or visually impaired.
