Description
Popular app for developing cause and effect touch skills and sensory integration support.
Light Box uses abstract animation and sound to introduce basic touch skills and awareness.
Light Box has become a popular choice for parents of babies and young toddlers but was originally made for teenagers with autism and a range of complex needs. Sounds and graphics are appropriate for any age-group.
Light Box naturally encourages exploration of touch gestures through 30 scenes which range from calm & immersive to loud & energetic. Numerous options are provided to customise visuals and simplify controls.
Reviews from purchasers:
"Cause and Effect Sensory Light Box is a multifaceted app to use when teaching cause and effect, targeting, and visual attention. Great for use with low vision kids or as a "chill out " app for the overly stressed kid or adult....."
"My son is ASD and loves this app so much. Already has a favourite setting. Highly recommended, not just for SEN kids."
"My 18 month old loves it! Great for young ones. Lots of different lights and sounds. Easy to use. :) "
"My almost-5-year-old, blind and autistic, is still trying to figure out how touching the tablet works. This app had him refining his touch and laughing and interacting almost immediately! What a great find!"
"Really pleased with this - great auditory and visual feedback. Used with different people and all find something they like. Well worth the money."
"My DS/Autistic son loves this app. it is calming and soothing and keeps him well engaged. I would recommend this app for long waits and crowded places."
Light Box also provides automatic (touch free) play to enable switch control for basic cause and effect.

Ratings and Reviews
I'll be Sure to Share This One
I work with students with special needs who have severe cognitive disabilities. For my K-2nd graders I should work with having them respond to music, to interact with sound, and to explore sound. This app is close to perfect.
I would request that not every box have a black background.
I would request that there be a wider variation of pitchs and volume.
I would request that there be a wider variation of timbres.
With these changes I'd give this app five stars because more of my students would find something they would like.
As it is, there is too much similarity. Perhaps as part of a future up date you would consider these ideas.
Love this but does allow guided access now
I love this app it's great for the patients that I work with who are autistic and have various disabilities. It really works on the patient's ability to understand cause-and-effect and a variety and calming way. However, since the most recent iOS update it will no longer let me lock them into the app, by using guided access on the iPad, and then allow them to use it. This is a feature that I really need to have because I use it as a reward and if I can't lock the man to make it hit the home button and get out of the app.
Use this almost daily
Cause and Effect Sensory Light Box is a multifaceted app to use when teaching cause and effect, targeting, and visual attention. Great for use with low vision kids or as a "chill out " app for the overly stressed kid or adult. There are 21 different visual displays and the customizations are spectacular! You can also use this with a switch or activate the app by sound. Choose from a variety of background colors - to make the most of contrast or to attract kids attention, then choose the display. There are leaves, bubbles, a volcano, worms, flames and flowers to name a few. There are no ads or IAPs. This has been a permanent app on my iPad because of the ability to adapt it. Highly recommended.
