Professional guidance helps The materials themselves are simple to place on a light box, but selecting and sequencing activities within the Level I visual efficiency curriculum requires a qualified TVI. Using this without professional guidance risks either under-challenging or overwhelming a student with low vision. Professional_recommended rather than required because the materials could be used informally, but meaningful outcomes depend on structured instructional planning.

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.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Place opaque shape materials on the light box surface to create high-contrast visual displays for instructional activities.
  • With professional help
    1. A Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI) selects and sequences activities from the Level I curriculum framework.
    2. Integration into a student's vision program typically occurs over multiple sessions; consult APH's Light Box Materials instructional guide for sequencing. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
