| Provenance/History |
The second set of materials developed to accompany the APH Light Box. The Light Box was introduced in 1984 for developing the use of low vision, stimulating an awareness of light and color, and shapes of objects. The APH Project Director was Suzette Frere. Materials Level II was intended for low vision students with a developmental age of 3 to 5. This particular set was used as a demonstration unit in the APH Display Room. |
