LED LightBox: iOS app for students with CVI

Convert your iPad into a traveling LightBox for students with cortical visual impairment (CVI).

Does your child enjoy using the light box?  Here is a creative idea on how to turn your iPad into a traveling light box using the LED LightBox app!  This very simple app converts the iPad into a solid gray, white or red screen.  Place your student’s favorite brightly colored objects on the iPad’s screen.  Gel Gems – squishy gel-like shapes that can be stuck on windows – work well when traveling in the car, as they will not slide off the iPad’s screen!
