History/Provenance: APH published "Aids for Teaching Basic Concepts of Sensory Development," by Natalie Barraga, Barbara Dorward, and Peggy Ford originally in 1973. These slides were used as illustrations in the book, and illustrate hand-crafted educational aids, many of which were added to the APH catalog in the late 1970s. Slides were kept in APH Communications Group (which became the Communications Department in 2002) until being transferred to the museum. The Communications Group produced materials about APH products.
