High contrast for low vision.
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
High visual contrast helps children with low vision or cortical blindness find and visually track toys. Use backgrounds to create contrast. Three tablecloths (black, white, yellow) and a bright light will help almost any toy to visually pop out! Spread a black cloth on the floor and shine a light on it. Now send the Musical Turtle on a trek across the cloth. It is so much easier to track now! Pick the appropriate colour background for each new toy, and turn up the contrast!

PLAY Tip
Visual Stimulation and Cause and Effect In One Toy!
The Switch Adapted Graphics Mobile clamps onto more then just cribs! Try clamping the mobile onto the back of a stable chair and positioning it over a child lying on the floor. For a change, unhook the cards and add your own special objects. Try holographic pictures, shiny ribbons, tinsel, leaves, or anything that strikes your fancy!
