The donation for light table will be use to enhance literacy, math, and writing skills in fun and playful ways. Children on the spectrum are naturally drawn to the gentle glow of the light table and tend to stay there for long periods of time. This will encourage the students to discover the world around them through their curiosity. There are so many benefits of light play, that it is hard to know where to begin. Often, people refer to light tables as an excellent resource for science and discovery (and they definitely are). However, light tables are so much more than that! Light tables can be used for literacy, math, music, writing, and science. By creating an inviting learning space, children are encouraged to engage in learning activities through play without even realizing it. Due to its simple design, a light table draws children in with its luring lights and exciting promise and does not fall short. Aside from the vast array of educational and entertaining activities that can be done on a light table, light tables are an excellent source of visual sensory input. Children are naturally drawn to the glow of the table and are often calmed by the visual stimulation as they explore a the center.
