Some students with deafblindness have a cortical visual impairment (CVI) and would benefit greatly from the use of a light box. The light box helps to stimulate the visual pathway and can be used in a variety of ways with students who have varying levels of visual development. Talk with your qualified Teacher for Students with Visual Impairments to see if using a light box would be beneficial for the student you support. The following resources may be helpful in starting your light box program.
