I have worked with children 0-12 with CVI and multiple disabilities for over 20 years. I have worked one on one with vision specialists with individual chidlren to assess their visual functioning and to modify their programming and therapeutic approaches to maximize their learning and function during my sessions. Although I am a Physical Therapist, my prior 19 years were in a transdisciplinary setting which required me to coordinate and provide services for all of the child's needs, including those that would typically be allocated to a TVI, SLP, OT, and counselor. I thus relied heaviliy on consultations with specialists to carry out my job.
In my current school setting, I work with children with CVI and other disabilities. I do co-treatment sessions with TVIs and carry out any recommendations they have. I have modified my treatment space to be CVI friendly and I have a number of tools to facilitate visual functioning while supporting my PT goals.
