What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a replacement tactile/visual puzzle panel designed for use with APH's Light Box Materials Level I curriculum — specifically the ball puzzle component. It lays flat on a light box (sold separately), allowing a student with low vision or cortical visual impairment to use backlighting to perceive shapes and work on visual discrimination and tracking skills. The intended user is a student, typically elementary-age, who has functional but limited vision and is working on early visual efficiency skills with a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI). This is a replacement or supplemental piece, not a standalone learning system — it requires the APH Light Box and is intended to be used within a structured instructional program. Federal Quota eligibility means schools can order it through APH's quota system, which is the most common funding route.
