Tactile Skills Matrix: Systematic Scanning

The following APH products support Systematic Scanning by encouraging students to explore a tactile display in a systematic fashion—top to bottom, left to right, clockwise, etc., within tactile worksheets, board games, storybooks, and more. Note: Products without a hyperlink to APH’s shopping site have been obsoleted, but original copies might still be available to some teachers for continued use with their students.
