Tactile Demonstration Thermometer, now in UEB and Nemeth, enables students who are blind or low vision to explore temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
This updated Tactile Demonstration Thermometer is now available in two accessible braille versions – UEB and Nemeth. The Tactile Demonstration Thermometer allows students who are blind or low vision, as well as their sighted peers, to independently read, set, and compare temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Here’s what our field testers had to say about the Tactile Demonstration Thermometer:
Coolness factor—the blind/low vision student has the “cool” item that others want to touch/explore.
[Student] liked comparing the Celsius and Fahrenheit and trying to estimate the value when between the units of measure. Loved the ribbon and being able to adjust the temperature himself.
The student loved that it was interactive, and they were able to adjust the temperature. It is well made and sturdy.
