Sample documents

Many types of embossed sheets can be used with the S-PEAK M6 Touch device. The embossed sheets could be drawings, maps, graphs, charts, diagrams, etc. used at Geography, Biology, Chemistry, Geometry, Music, foreign languages, Special Therapies, and also for crosswords or many types of board games.

Mainly, these embossed sheets are made from Swell Touch Paper, or similar products. Also, embossed sheets can be made from felt, strings and beads, etc.

Embossed boards can be used on their own, or with the Game Grid device, for crosswords or board games.
