We were thrilled to receive the tactile aids that you sent for our
classroom. These materials are very beneficial to our learning needs.
Our class ranges in age from six to nine years old. Our students
have different ability levels -- one has a visual impairment, two
have Down's Syndrome, one has multiple disabilities, and two have
developmental disabilities. We are able to use your aids in a large
group, small group, or individually. We appreciate your taking the
time to do wonderful things for our children and children everywhere.
