Reach and Match Light Offers Accessibility and Flexibility’

Two square Reach and Match tiles are positioned next to each other with measurements to show the size difference between the regular and light version. The light is .4 inches smaller on all sides.

This new addition to the Reach & Match family of products is a smaller, more compact version of the beloved Reach & MatchTM Inclusive Education Kit, but still holds all the features and benefits of the original kit that has been loved by teachers, parents, and students. This smaller version was created in response to the shortage of services for children with disabilities during COVID-19 and the increasing need for small class applications. Without access to classroom tools, it became clear that an option for at home learning was essential. A smaller compact kit will allow students, parents, and families the opportunity to use these tools in countless new ways.

Learning involves a child’s whole body. Movement and social interaction are helpful to strengthen early learning and memory. Active learning on their own, with friends, and with parents is essential to their educational development. Reach & Match’s unique design appeals to children of all abilities, creating an opportunity for them to play together or side by side. It allows you to encourage independent play, while also having plenty of opportunity to jump into an activity together. For a wide variety of ages and educational levels, from big to small, letters to numbers, APH has options galore! Children have plenty of options to use their imagination and creativity for educational play.

Classroom teachers, TVIs, O&M instructors, and therapists love Reach & Match Light for its portability and adaptability to various learning environments. It’s perfect for on-the-go teaching! Most importantly, Reach & Match Light offers greater accessibility and flexibility, making it easier for families to support their child’s learning at home. The new kit is user-friendly for children and their parents. The Reach & Match Toolkit is designed to help children learn things like texture differentiation, patterns, manual dexterity, braille, print learning, and more. With the new version, children will be able to access this kind of learning opportunity outside of classrooms and in their own home. Parents get the chance to learn alongside their child and take an active role in their exploration of new skills.

Just like the original Reach & Match Inclusive Education Kit, Reach and Match Light comes with the same set of Reach & Match Alphabet Tiles, so they are interchangeable from one kit to the other. In addition, your students will love using the new Reach & Match Number Tiles (available for separate purchase) with this compact version.
