CVI From a Parent's Perspective

Earn Credits File Download PowerPoint
Presented by Rebecca Davis

Ten years ago, Rebecca Davis and her family began their CVI journey with their daughter Eliza. Rebecca notices that families with CVI still have the questions she did, and go through those same searches for information.

In this presentation, Rebecca speaks directly to these families, and the teams they work with, about the challenges, resources, science and strategy of raising a child with cortical/cerebral visual impairment.
