Be-active Box
The 'be-active box' or the 'little room' is an ideal tool for both assessment and training. The be-active box comprises a resonance board, a fluorescent light, light emitting devices, brightly coloured, graspable toys, and musical toys hanging from the ceiling - all of which help to stimulate a visually impaired infant, encouraging him/her to use the residual vision as much as possible.
By observing the child's response to various stimuli, professionals form an accurate assessment of the child's visual skills, as well as motor functions and communication abilities. This device is especially useful with very young children who are not yet able to communicate through language and whose blindness or low vision prevents them from being trained through expressions and gestures.
A toy depository at the children's rehabilitation centre has a collection of toys for visually impaired infants to help them improve their motor, cognitive and visual skills.
Furthermore, the centre organizes activities and programmes like summer camps, parent meets and parental workshops. Supporting all our efforts are a large group of volunteers who assist us in the promotion and organization of these events.
