What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
These are high-contrast overlays designed to sit on top of a light box, featuring spinner or rotating elements that create visually engaging, dynamic patterns on the illuminated surface. They're built for learners with cortical visual impairment (CVI), low vision, or visual processing difficulties who benefit from light-based stimulation to develop figure-ground discrimination and visual attention skills. This is not a standalone product — it requires a compatible APH light box to function as intended. The overlays are customizable, but if you're working with a child with CVI, an orientation and mobility specialist or teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) should guide selection and use to match the learner's current visual phase.
