CVI is the leading cause of visual impairment in school-age children. To best serve your students, you need CVI Range experts in your schools.
How can I get my staff trained in the CVI Range©?
Every school district needs training in the CVI Range©. It’s essential for all educators and related services providers who work with children CVI. To get professional development for staff, turn to Perkins eLearning’s customizable training packages, which can meet the needs of school districts of every size. Fill out the form below to learn more about how Perkins can tailor our CVI training for you.
*Please note: while Perkins believes that all children with CVI should have an educational team member who has received the Perkins-Roman CVI Endorsement, this should not replace the teacher of the visually impaired. A student with visual impairments should have a TVI on his/her team.
What is CVI?
CVI is the leading cause of visual impairment in children in the U.S. It’s a brain-based visual impairment that often presents with other neurological disorders. Every child with CVI has the potential to improve his or her use of vision.
"Perkins' reputation in the field is unparalleled. When my staff required professional development on working with students with CVI, I knew I could trust the experts at Perkins."
