What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
This kit gives teachers, braille transcribers, and orientation and mobility instructors a set of tools and materials for making their own raised-line maps, graphs, diagrams, and charts. It's meant for people who prepare tactile materials for students who read by touch, so a lesson or a route map can be matched to one learner instead of relying only on stock graphics. It's a professional's toolkit, not something a student uses alone, and it asks for some skill in planning and building a tactile image.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
Open the kit and look over the tools and materials before planning your first graphic. - With a guide
Start with a simple graphic, such as a basic chart or a short route map, to learn how the materials work together. Expect a few practice pieces before the results are easy to read by touch. - With professional help
A teacher of students with visual impairments, a braille transcriber, or an orientation and mobility specialist can help decide what to draw and how much detail a learner can read by touch.
