CVI: Considerations for Distance Learning part 2 Phase III

In this second part of the presentation CVI: Considerations for Distance Learning, presenters focus on the specific needs of students assessed in Phase III of CVI.

The use of technology (video conferencing, screen mirroring, and general use of tablets and screens) for remote instruction presents its own unique challenges to meet the needs of individual students with CVI. There are many creative resources, but it is important to emphasize that CVI intervention is not a “one size fits all” approach, and the individual child’s functional vision assessment results should be the central guide for intervention.

In this second part of the presentation CVI: Considerations for Distance Learning, presenters focus on the specific needs of students assessed in Phase III of CVI.

​Upon successful completion of your assessment, you will earn 2 PDP, CE, ACVREP, or CTLE credits, or .15 ASHA CEUs.
