Traditional light boxes have a light underneath a surface which can be used to assist with tracing images. For children with a vision impairment it can add another dimension and can help to develop awareness of light, colour and objects as well as creating silhouettes. It is a pivotal piece of kit when it comes to developing visual tracking, hand eye coordination skills and visual discrimination.
