    About LIGHTBOX

    LIGHTBOX has been developed using an SEND-first approach. This approach is about making innovative digital resources that work for all students but that have inclusion and inclusive practice at their core. All resources in this series are developed in conversation with SEND teachers and in collaboration with young sensory learners with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities).

    LIGHTBOX was made in collaboration with students and staff from Willow Dene School.
