What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is a tactile science notebook designed for students with visual impairments studying Earth, Moon, and Sun concepts — part of APH's Louis curriculum materials. It combines an investigation notebook (where students record observations and responses) with a compiled set of articles, all produced in tactile format with braille and/or embossed graphics so students who are blind or have low vision can engage with the same science content as sighted peers. The notebook is meant to be used as part of a structured classroom science unit, not as a standalone self-study resource — a teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or science teacher familiar with the curriculum will need to guide its use. Federal Quota funds are eligible, which means schools can purchase it through APH's allocation system rather than out-of-pocket. The tactile format adds meaningful weight to the learning experience, but the physical book is relatively lightweight and designed to be student-portable.
