What is CVI?
CVI is a brain-based visual impairment caused by damage to the visual pathways or visual processing areas of the brain.
How is CVI diagnosed?
CVI is the most common cause of pediatric visual impairment. It’s critical to obtain an accurate CVI diagnosis and advocate for your child.
After the Diagnosis
After your child is diagnosed with CVI, you should follow these five steps involving processing emotions, obtaining assessments and beginning intervention.
Even when you think you aren’t being heard, parent voices are the loudest and most effective for making lasting change.
