Instructional Products Catalog 2012-2013

APH Mission Statement
To promote independence of blind and visually impaired persons by providing specialized materials, products, and services needed for education and life.

APH Corporate Status
The American Printing House for the Blind, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Gifts, therefore, are tax deductible.


Core Curriculum and Expanded Core Curriculum by Dr. Philip Hatlen

Core Curriculum
Educators define core curriculum as the knowledge and skills a student should learn by high school graduation. This foundation, for almost all learning, is generally related to academic subjects.

Expanded Core Curriculum
Most professionals firmly believe that visually impaired students need an expanded core curriculum that requires additional areas of learning. Experiences and concepts casually and incidentally learned by sighted students must be systematically and sequentially taught to the visually impaired student.

Note: Dr. Philip Hatlen authored the introductory copy at the beginning of each of the Expanded Core Curriculum sections in this catalog.

Dr. Philip Hatlen is the retired Superintendent of the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Austin, and served as an Ex Officio Trustee of APH for many years.

TADPOLE Kit
Tools and Activities for the Development of Visual Skills (TADPOLE) is a set of standardized tools that helps practitioners perform functional vision evaluations or visual skills development activities. It is similar to APH's Tools for Assessment and Development of Visual Skills (ToAD) kit, but is geared for younger learners. TADPOLE is a natural precursor to APH's ToAD Program.
TADPOLE does not provide a formal assessment-there are several excellent assessment tools available. TADPOLE provides materials that assist the educator as he or she performs vision assessments or activities.
TADPOLE also functions as the Vision Modality section for APH's Sensory Learning Kit (SLK).
The TADPOLE Practitioner's Guidebook is a collection of suggested activities, primarily for use with students who are very young (0-2 level), or who have communication and/or cognitive delays.
Note: Practitioners should purchase the ToAD kit prior to use of the TADPOLE kit, since items from ToAD are needed when a student's personal items are not available.

-- Object Cards
-- TADPOLE Mini-Lite Box overlays
-- Report of Visual Skills (10-pack)
-- Black & White Coloring Cards (5-pack)

In addition to its uses for assessment and for vision development activities, ToAD serves as the Vision Modality for the Sensory Learning Kit.

What is IT? Kit
The exercises in the What is IT? Kit emphasize the need for the child to form real mental images in relation to labels at a very early age.
Many bright young children who are blind copy the descriptive terminology of others, but have difficulty describing the "why" of the label independently. Teaching the young mind to listen to the word, and anticipate "motor knowledge" (organized physical input) that will help form associations, can make a difference. With an active introduction to details contributing to the whole, the child will gain the foundation for comparative thinking, leading to the ability to generalize and communicate independently.
Think about this: Both tables and chairs have "legs" and a flat surface, so what is the difference between them? What do "flat" and "surface" mean? Does "leg" mean table leg, animal leg, or person's leg? Active repetition within the context of daily activities is required to meaningfully tie labels to their many possible associated concepts.

NEW! The Best for a Nest Interactive Storybook
This large/print braille book includes color illustrations on each page that depict the text. The Best for a Nest interactive storybook provides an opportunity for the learner to focus on many concepts: position of objects, prepositional phrases, and use of tactile symbols.
Use of Storyboard
The storyboard should be removed from the book so the child can use the included tactile symbol manipulatives to illustrate what is happening on each page of the book. The child may need assistance when first placing tactile symbols on the storyboard. It is anticipated that the child will need less assistance as he/she gains experience. Make this experience fun and meaningful for the child.
Manipulatives
Included with the book is a group of manipulatives: birds, nest, eggs, tree, branches, grass, and a cat. The manipulatives are tactile symbols that are designed to assist the child in better understanding the text.
Basic Concepts Can Be Explored
-- Counting - the number of branches, eggs, birds, nest, and cat
-- Left and Right - as related to the tree, its branches, and positions of the bird(s), and cat
-- Comparisons - of lengths of branches and sizes of birds
-- Top and Bottom - of the tree and the page
-- Around - the tree
Topics for Discussion
-- Why do birds sit on their eggs?
-- Where do birds go when winter comes?
-- What are the seasons of the year (sequence) and their difference?
-- Why did the bird want to be safe from the cat?
-- What kind of food did the bird find on the ground?
Recommended ages: 2 years and up.

NEW! Building on Patterns: Primary Braille Literacy Program -- Second Grade Level
Building on Patterns (BOP) is a complete primary literacy program designed to teach beginning braille users all language arts -- reading, writing, and spelling.
The Building on Patterns series addresses phonemic awareness (ability to hear and interpret sounds in speech), phonics (the association of written symbols with the sounds they represent), comprehension, fluency, and oral vocabulary, all of which have been identified as important for reading instruction.
This program also addresses specific skill areas needed by the child who is blind, such as language development, sound discrimination, tactual discrimination, and concept development. Braille contractions are introduced from the beginning along with sound and letter associations. Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) Skills such as using tactile graphics and technology are also included. BOP Second Grade builds on the components of BOP First Grade and contains additional activities.
New Features
-- Timed reading in each lesson
-- More independent reading suggestions
-- Simplified lesson monitoring sheets
-- Quick Read for silent reading and reading comprehension practice
-- Meet the Authors with information on the BOP writers in each unit
BOP Second Grade includes more worksheets, part-word braille contractions, and other remaining literacy contractions and symbols along with the rules to use them. The curriculum also emphasizes syllables and multisyllabic words, and the effect of certain letter combinations on vowel sounds. For optional map work, each lesson gives the foreign origin of at least one spelling word.
Recommended ages: 7 to 8 years and up.
Prerequisite: BOP First Grade or equivalent skills.
Note: Each print kit includes Teacher's Materials in print; braille kits include Teacher's Materials in braille.

Flip-Over Concept Books: LINE PATHS
The first of a planned series of print/tactile books, uniquely designed by APH.
These concept books provide interactive and independent learning for young children as they build basic concepts and develop early tactile skills. The format of LINE PATHS includes tactile and full color panels that can be turned freely until the child finds adjacent panels that match each other, continue a line or pattern, complete a sequence, build an image, and so on.
Continuous Line Path Worksheets are included to allow the child to practice tracking each line type, from start to finish, in a continuous motion before tracking across three separate panels.
Flip-Over Concept Books use a special binding that opens and closes, allowing teachers and parents to:
-- Randomize/shuffle the panels within each stack to prevent the child from memorizing the exact location of a panel
-- Minimize the number of line paths presented in the book, if needed, for a younger child
Recommended ages: preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary grades.
Flip-Over Concept Books: LINE PATHS: 1-08831-00 -- $50.00

Flip-Over Concept Books: PARTS OF A WHOLE
The second in a planned series. The format of PARTS OF A WHOLE consist of tactile, full color panels that can be turned freely until the child finds adjacent panels that match each other, continue a line or pattern, complete a sequence, build an image, and so on.
Introduce and practice these concepts and skills:
-- Tactile and visual discrimination of various textures and shapes--sometimes with subtle differences
-- Familiarization with basic geometry terms such as symmetry, straight, curved, half, whole, circle, and oval
-- Global exploration versus systematic exploration
-- Understanding of tactile representation-compare the visual/tactile image to the real object (if available)
-- Exposure to basic science terms-e.g., fish (tail fin, dorsal fin, pectoral fin) turtle (shell, head, tail), leaf (stem, veins, blade), etc.
-- Tactile/visual matching of similar shapes
Recommended ages: preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary grades.

APH Talking PC Maps Software
This software provides spoken and on-screen map data and 12 million points of interest for U.S. states, territories, and Canada on one flash drive. It speaks on any Windows(R) computer, whether or not the computer has screen reading software installed. APH Talking PC Maps is a joint venture of APH and the Sendero Group LLC.
This software does not give information about a user's actual physical location; it is not a GPS system. Instead, it provides a verbal description of physical space and what it contains. It gives persons with visual impairments the same information available to sighted persons through incidental learning when they look at maps, street signs, and signage on buildings.
This software helps your student:
-- Virtually explore streets and learn their layout
-- Set a destination and track the distance and compass heading to that destination
-- Save, reverse, review, and print or emboss pedestrian or vehicle routes
-- Track the side of the street that he or she is virtually walking on, and make realistic decisions about turns and street crossings
-- Record or type custom descriptive information about a particular intersection, parking lot, building, or other location
Example Uses of APH Talking PC Maps software:
-- O&M Learning Tool: Learn a new part of town: your O&M student can learn about the part of town to which his family will be moving.
-- Classroom Map Study Tool: Explore Washington, DC: your student can be included in the classroom's virtual tour of Washington DC.
-- Incidental Environmental Learning and Location Literacy Tool: Locate a business for occupational interviews: your rehabilitation consumer can locate and interview members of ten occupations with which he is not familiar.
APH Talking PC Maps software, along with a User's Guide, is delivered on a USB flash drive. Technology-savvy students and adults can use this software with little assistance. Other students may need some instruction in its use.

Expanded Core Curriculum: Daily Living and Social Interaction

Independent Living Skills
This area, often referred to as daily living skills, consists of all the tasks and functions people perform, according to their abilities, in order to live as independently as possible. These curricular needs are varied and include skills in personal hygiene, food preparation, money management, time monitoring, and organization.

Social Interaction Skills
Blind and visually impaired individuals learn social interaction skills through careful, conscious, and sequential teaching. Instruction in these skills is such a fundamental need that it can often mean the difference between social isolation and a satisfying and fulfilling life as an adult.

NEW! MiniBook Braille Quick-Note Products
Jot down small bits of information quickly! When a friend gives you a phone number or a clerk tells you the total of your debit card purchase, you need to get to your braille writing materials fast!
APH's MiniBook gives braille users the ability to get materials out and ready to write as quickly as their sighted peers. Pull the MiniBook braille binder or spiral notebook out of your pocket and begin to write on the MiniBook Slate in just a few seconds!
A few things that you can do with MiniBook materials:
-- Use your Binder for material that changes; you can easily remove, rearrange, and replace pages.
-- Arrange appointment dates in your Binder and insert pages when you make new appointments.
-- Keep a Mini Spiral Notebook, Slate, and Stylus by the phone to jot down quick messages.
-- Use one Mini Spiral Notebook for each purpose: for example, one for your to-do list, and another for phone numbers.
Materials are sold separately:
-- MiniBook Slate with Styluses: This tiny slate has four lines, 15 cells per line. The cells have side indentations, making it easy to find the dot you want to make. It comes with three styluses: saddle, tall flat, and short flat. Choose the one that fits your hand most comfortably.
-- Six Ring Binder for MiniBook: This tiny six-ring binder comes with a pack of 250 sheets of punched filler paper. It fits into a pants or shirt pocket. Keep the slate fastened to the first blank page, keep a stylus in the binder's back pocket, and be ready to write in an instant. You can open the rings to rearrange pages or add new ones. The binder will hold up to 50 pages of braille.
-- Filler Paper for MiniBook: Additional packs of filler paper can be purchased for the binder.
-- Mini Spiral Notebook (2-pk.): Even smaller than the binder, the Mini Spiral Notebook includes 50 pages perforated for easy removal. Fasten the slate to the first blank page, then when you pull the notebook out of your pocket, you're ready to write!

A fun, versatile board game that encourages young children, especially those with visual impairments and blindness, to develop tactile skills.

NEW! Sudoku Partner 6x6
Sudoku Partner 6x6 is a portable, reusable board for setting up and solving 6x6 sudoku puzzles. Its advantage over other sudoku solving boards is that it allows you to mark possible answers in each box to help you keep track of them, without hundreds of separate pieces. It is also useful for those who don't know braille but still want a tactile system for solving the puzzles.
Like a standard print sudoku puzzle, the board has an array of small and large rectangles. Each block (large rectangle) is made up of six boxes (small rectangles)--three boxes across and two boxes high. Tactually, the boxes are outlined in smooth raised lines and the blocks in heavier dashed lines.
It is especially important to make sure students can track left to right, up and down, and at the same time look for information tactually. Building success through gradual steps should keep the activity enjoyable for students.
Includes:
-- Two puzzle-solving boards
-- Booklets with rules, examples, and puzzles in print and braille
-- 150 puzzles provided with answers, at three difficulty levels
Recommended ages: 10 years and up.

NEW! TREKS: The Game of Compass Directions
Designed to be challenging, educational, and enjoyable. Like a good walk outdoors, it's full of variety!
The goal of the game is to be the first player to move your pieces ("treksters") across the board from your home row into the opponent's home row. You can change the game to make the play simpler or add rules to make it more complex.
After each move, you must announce the direction and the number of spaces moved by each trekster. For example, "I moved this trekster four spaces east and this trekster one to the south." If you forget to make this announcement, your opponent may undo your move!
Includes print/braille overlays and pieces to use for varying the basic game:
-- One overlay with the four cardinal directions labeled and another with only a north arrow.
-- One overlay with numbered and named streets. With this game variation, you are required to name the starting and ending intersection for each move rather than the compass direction, as in "Moving from Third and Bay to Third and Fox" or "Moving from Second and Hart to Seventh and Hart."
-- Buttons that serve as barriers to navigate.
-- One overlay with the cardinal compass directions at the four corners of the square. By keeping the movement rules the same, you force all moves to be in secondary compass directions with this overlay. For example, if the north arrow is placed in the upper left corner of the board (from your vantage point), moving a trekster straight ahead is a move to the northeast; moving to the left is a move northwest; and so on.
-- Two blank overlays (one that is open in the middle, one with two intersecting bands inside) to which you can add braille stickers to represent street names, street numbers, blocks, landmarks, lines of latitude/longitude, etc.
Along with the pieces mentioned above, the kit includes a game board, treksters that are tactually and visually contrasting, a rules and variations booklet in large print and braille, and a set of tactile dice.
Recommended ages: 8 years and up.

NEW! GAMES for People with Sensory Impairments
Physical education teachers and activity/recreation directors find GAMES for People With Sensory Impairments: Strategies for Including Individuals of all Ages to be practical, relevant, and realistic. Adapted Physical Education (APE) professors find it to be a valuable tool when teaching future APE teachers. For novices, this publication provides a wealth of information on what to do, how to do it, and why. The authors, Lauren Lieberman and James Cowart, draw on their extensive experience in teaching students of all ages who have visual impairments, blindness, deafblindness, and multiple disabilities.
The book's Game Finder helps teachers locate games and activities that are appropriate for their students. The Game Finder Key identifies each game by name, category, sport skill, physical and motor fitness, and fundamental motor patterns and skills. The games and activities included in the book are creative innovations submitted by 15 outstanding teachers, coaches, and leaders who work in schools or programs for students who have sensory impairments.
The binder allows game pages to be removed for easy use in the gym, on the field, or pool side. The game pages are printed on heavier paper stock to accommodate frequent handling. Both the large print and braille versions contain a CD-ROM with an .html file.

Federal Quota Funds Could Help Purchase APH Materials for Your Students!
The federal Act to Promote the Education of the Blind provides funds for accessible educational materials for eligible students who meet the definition of blindness. An annual registration of eligible students determines a per capita amount of money specifically designated for the purchase of educational materials produced by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH). These funds are credited to Federal Quota accounts maintained and administered by APH and its Ex Officio Trustees throughout the United States and Outlying Areas. 
Who Is Eligible?
In order for students to be eligible for registration in the Federal Quota Program, they MUST meet the following requirements: 
-- meet the definition of blindness -- "central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with best correction; a peripheral field so contracted that the widest diameter of such field subtends an angular distance no greater than 20 degrees; or visual performance reduced by a brain injury or dysfunction when visual function meets the definition of blindness as determined by an eye care specialist or neurologist."
-- "be enrolled in a formally organized educational program of less than college level"
-- be enrolled with the registering school or agency on the first Monday in January
There is no chronological age limit for eligibility. "Eligible adult students are those who meet the definition of blindness and who are enrolled in instructional programs, at less than college level, for 20 hours per week. Social and leisure programs do not qualify as instruction. However, student practice to develop skills can be included in instructional hours. Registration will be determined by the number of students enrolled throughout the previous calendar year for at least three months of instruction (an accumulation of 12 weeks)." 
Who Are the Ex Officio Trustees?
For each residential school for the blind, state department of education, or agency for the blind that participates in the Federal Quota Program, an Ex Officio Trustee of the American Printing House for the Blind must be designated. Each Ex Officio Trustee is entrusted with the administration of the Federal Quota Program within his or her system.
