Sensory Light Box

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.

I am a speech therapist working with many clients with multiple delays and disorders. The sensory Light Box is one of the few apps that I can guarantee my clients of all ages will engage with. I use it as a reward, to build rapport, for requesting, vocabulary and other therapy activities. Many of my clients families have requested the name of this app so they could have it to use at home.

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.

The app keeps crashing when I open the camera roll Fix it

I found this app under the 'cause and effect' category in the Autism App and had high hopes for fun and stimulating activity for my severely disabled patient. He has responded very well to similar apps and, since Lightbox offers so many choices, I thought it would be perfect for him. However, it's been quite a disappointment. The touchscreen feature is too sensitive detecting multifinger swiping far too easily either closing out the app, moving laterally to another open app screen or vertically showing the simultaneously open apps along the bottom. Then when you reopen it, there is no sound until you exit back to the lightbox menu and restart it. It's really frustrating for him and for his caregivers. Please fix it because it's a great idea.

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.
