| Specific purposes |
• To correct posture. • To reduce photophobia. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
• Use of a black bookrest helps the children to maintain a proper study posture and keep a steady distance between their eyes and the object. • The black surface reduces light reflection from the surface of the bookrest. This can reduce glare, making it easier for users to read. |
| Expected effects and results | This product can help reduce fatigue caused by postural slouching, thus improving learning efficiency. |
| How to use |
• Adjust the tilt of the bookrest to make it easier to use. • Use a pencil case placed on the desk, as needed. |
