What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a replacement background set for APH's Light Box Materials Level I curriculum — a structured program that uses a backlit surface to help students with visual impairments develop visual efficiency skills. The opaque shapes in this set create high-contrast figure-ground displays on the light box, making it easier for a learner with low vision to detect, locate, and track objects. It's designed for students who are just beginning visual skills training, particularly those with cortical or functional visual impairments where strong contrast and controlled sensory input support engagement. This is not a standalone product — it requires the APH Light Box (sold separately) and fits within a sequenced instructional program, so it's most useful when a teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or vision rehabilitation therapist is guiding the curriculum. Federal Quota eligible, meaning it can be purchased through a student's quota account via the state's APH quota administrator.
