What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This accessory set adds a ledge and a translucent Dycem grip mat to the APH Mini-Lite Box, keeping tactile and visual materials from sliding off when the light box is propped at an angle. It's designed for learners with visual impairments — particularly those who use backlighting to explore high-contrast materials like shape puzzles or textured mats — who need the surface tilted for ergonomic viewing or reach. This is strictly an add-on: it only functions alongside the APH Mini-Lite Box and associated light box learning materials, none of which are included here. The Dycem mat is translucent rather than clear, which slightly reduces light transmission compared to the bare lens.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Slide the ledge into the Mini-Lite Box as directed.
- Press the Dycem mat onto the ledge or lens surface — it adheres without adhesive.
- With professional help
A teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or vision specialist should determine the appropriate tilt angle and materials pairing for the learner's specific visual and tactile needs.
