The Reach & Match® Inclusive Education Kit provides toddler training for manual dexterity and identifying tactile patterns. It provides pre-schoolers with braille and print learning, motor development, direction, and spatial awareness training. Originally created for children with BVI, a preliminary review revealed that children with autism also enjoy playing and learning with Reach & Match.
The Reach & Match® Inclusive Education Kit includes four large puzzle piece mats, each a different color: red, blue, green, and yellow. One side of each mat features a tactile pattern that matches corresponding tiles. The other side of each mat has the same tactile pattern but with a recessed white path about the width of an adult finger. There are cut-out shapes that correspond to the same tiles. The tiles are stored in a round pouch with a zipper closure that is placed in the middle of the four large puzzle mats.
Cleaning instructions: Wipe down mats using a damp cloth with mild detergent and rinse using another damp cloth. Wipe down tiles with disinfectant wipes or a damp cloth with mild detergent, and then rinse using another damp cloth. Never submerge tiles in water.
Additional Shipping Charge: All shipments will incur UPS shipping rates based on the destination.
