Light Box

Light Box is a tool specifically designed for training visually impaired children to learn to use their residual vision more efficiently. Light Box, in conjunction with Light Box materials, can stimulate awareness of light, colours and shapes. This assists in the instruction of a variety of visual functions, such as tracking, scanning visual patterns, eye-hand co-ordination, and visual discrimination. Light Box basically features a translucent white plexiglass work surface illuminated from below, providing an even, high-contrast background and high-luminance for offered materials to optimally meet perception conditions for visually impaired children. An electronic dimmer allows to adjust intensity of light. A step-by-step reduction of luminance may support the transfer of gained skills to situations in normal light conditions. Light Box may be either used as a flat work surface or positioned incline in three different levels. Anti-skid rubber feet will ensure vertical positioning of the box. Built-in fastening bars will fix the work sheets in place even when being positioned incline. The high-durability cold, efficient and fluorescent light source is built into a 63.5 x 38.1 x 12.7 cm sturdy plastic box. Light Box comes with a suitable carrying bag.

Other than in Level I, where almost only abstract shapes are used, Level II already offers a wide range of more complex discrimination and identification tasks reflecting concrete materials from the environment of the child (ball, teddy, banana).
