Providing an appropriate
education to a child with a Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) requires the team
to take an in-depth look at what that individual child needs. We will take you through the
educational process from assessment to interventions including monitoring
progress. With our system you
can utilize all necessary evaluations (The CVI Range, Functional Vision
Evaluation, Learning Media Assessments, and Orientation and Mobility
evaluations).
Next, accommodations are not
a one size fits all, making finding the right method to provide access complex. We will explore our library of more
than 100 activities that address reduced complexity, teaching salient features,
and utilize comparative language. Participants
will learn how they can utilize activities for CVI Phases I, II, and III both
at home and at school to ensure consistency for the student. Do you have
ideas for accessible materials for your student but are unsure how to put it
all together? We will
demonstrate how you can use our activities designer.
Lastly, as with any strategy,
professionals should gather and review data to ensure progress is being made. CViConnect has utilized the iPad to
collect and organize this data for you. Together we will review sample data sets collected by CViConnect.
CViConnect was created by teachers to
increase accessibility to the curriculum for students with a cortical visual
impairment. Join us to discover
how using this system can increase the efficiency of professionals who support
the dynamic needs of students with CVI.
Learning objectives:
- Following the presentation, attendees will be able to score and monitor a student using The CVI Range on CViConnects online platform.
- Following the presentation, attendees will be able to create and assign activities on CVIConnect that are the right fit for a given student.
- Following the presentation, attendees will be able to review data for a given student based on how the child interacts with the CVIConnect activity.
