General Comments: “As an itinerant, my time is limited and tactile graphics can eat up a lot of it. It can take me three to four hours to adapt a map or diagram that my students might use for 15 minutes. The SENSEable STRIPS keep the tedium to a minimum and provides me with a good variety of textures and colors greatly cutting down on the time I spend behind my desk instead of with students. It also allows students to have a hand in adapting their own materials.”

Border Strips: “I like that these could be bent for rounded materials like shapes and numbers.”

Line Path Strips: “These seemed to be the most versatile. They were individually unique enough that my students had very little difficulty with discriminating one from the other; the colors were great for my students with low vision, and I could cut them into one segment pieces to use for maps, graphs, and labels.”

Texture Strips: “The rough and bumpy textured strips worked great for making maps for O&M and graphs for science and math.”

Shape Strips: “These were incredibly useful when cut apart into single units. I dare say almost as useful as the strips. We used them for points on both geographic maps and maps for O&M, for points on a graph, to indicate points on lines and angles, as markers on keypads and keyboards, polka dots on an egg, and as tactual representations for math problems.”
