What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
These plastic tumblers are replacement components for the APH Light Box Materials Level I kit, a tactile and visual learning tool used to develop visual efficiency skills in students with low vision. The light box kit places objects on an illuminated surface, using high contrast and backlighting to help students with residual vision practice distinguishing shapes, sizes, and spatial relationships — the tumblers are the manipulatives sorted, matched, or arranged during these activities. This is a replacement part, not a standalone solution; it only makes sense as a purchase if you already own the Light Box Materials Level I system. Teachers or vision specialists working through the Expanded Core Curriculum's Visual Efficiency strand will recognize these immediately; for everyone else, the parent kit is the starting point.
