CVI Web Exercise

Come along with three teachers of the visually impaired as we share what we have learned about Cortical/Cerebral Visual Impairment from training and research. Join us as we assess three students using Dr. Christine Roman-Lantzy's approach to CVI assessment as a guide. This is the first time any of us have attempted Dr. Roman's CVI assessment. See what kinds of intervention ideas have been successful for a fourth TVI.

This is an exciting area that we are learning new information about continually. Use this web exercise as a stepping stone to get familiar with CVI assessment and intervention, hone your own skills of observing these visual behaviors, and help us to learn and hone our skills.

What this is...

An exploration of CVI and the assessment of the visual behaviors of students who have it, including intervention ideas, and an opportunity for discussion.

What this isn't...

A prescriptive, or a how to.

How to use these materials.

For the Introduction and Case Studies, there is a handout (document) for each section that you can follow along as you view the videos linked within the handouts.

For the Intervention section, the "Materials" handout is separate from the video. Use the links under "Intervention Videos" to view the videos. "Materials" contains a link to strategytosee.com on which you can view Encouraging Efficient Use of Vision in Students with CVIwhich is a companion to the intervention videos. Also explore the  CVI Training Materials from the West Virginia Department of Education.
