Hello Everyone.

I am a counselor hoping to assist a formerly sighted, VI student who is requesting tactile support for learning GED-level math. I am hoping for a recommendation for magnetic number/symbol kits or other resources that you would recommend. I'm open to all suggestions and appreciate the opportunity to access the wisdom of this group!
