Visually impaired students require tactile materials with sensory components to support developing educational concepts. The materials selected can be easily adapted to incorporate a braille component. These materials were selected specifically with the needs of visually impaired students in mind, including students who are low vision, dual media students, and students who are blind. Materials will be used in the following ways: 1. Tap & Play Light - For students with cortical visual impairment who respond best to lighted objects. 2. Early Language Activity Boxes, Building Language Lotto - Include a tactile and visual component that will be helpful for students developing visual efficiency skills. Items are visually accessible for low-vision students. 3. Chicka Chick Boom, Activity Tree - Can be easily adapted with braille for dual medial students. 4. Nuts About Counting, Count Link, Apple Tree, Frogs - With braille added, these provide opportunities for students to develop counting and fine motor skills. 5. Alphabet Learning Locks, Linking Letter Monkeys, Find the Letter - With braille added, these provide opportunities to develop literacy skills for dual media students. 6. What's the Sound? - Includes an auditory component and is accessible for low-vision students. 7. Sensory Match Seashells, Touch Match Counting Cards, Touch Feel Mystery Capsules, Sea Animal Counters, Linking Cubes, Counting Cones, Tactile Letters - Include a tactile component to help students develop tactile sensitivity. 8. Don't Let the Bugs Fall, Monkeying Around - Include a tactile component and can be used as student motivators. The need to temporarily learn in a virtual environment created difficulties for students who require direct tactile exploration in order to develop a strong conceptual basis for literacy, language and math skills.
