Abstract
Intervention Strategies for Infants & Toddlers with Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) and their Families
This session presents information from the newly developed CVI Companion Guide (in press) by A. Lueck, D. Chen, and E. Hartmann to the Developmental Guidelines for Infants with Visual Impairments (2008), American Printing House for the Blind.
Topics include possible manifestations of CVI that may influence how very young children with CVI use their vision, respond to sounds, and interact with the environment. Interventions focus on supporting caregiver-child interactions, embedding functional vision interventions into daily routines, and the interrelationship among developmental skills. Content will be shared through discussion, handouts, videos, and small group activities.
