What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is a tactile science curriculum material designed for blind and low vision students studying light waves — part of APH's Louis educational database catalog. The notebook combines a hands-on investigation journal with a compiled set of articles, all rendered in tactile format so students can access diagrams, charts, and text through touch rather than sight. It's intended for a student with visual impairment in a science class covering light and optics, likely at the middle or high school level given the NGSS alignment APH typically targets with this series. This is a specialized educational resource, not a standalone learning tool — it works within a teacher-guided science unit, and the tactile graphics require a student who has braille literacy or tactile reading skills to get full benefit. Federal Quota funds are available for this item, meaning eligible students can receive it at no cost to the school through APH's quota allocation system.
