We will explore the structure of the brain, the early visual pathways, the dorsal and ventral streams and the integration between the two, and the importance of neuroplasticity (our brains are ever-changing). Within this context, we will discuss the CVI brain, damage and interruption to certain areas in the visual system, the CVI visual behaviors, visual fatigue, and the barriers to access. Along the way, participants will apply this neuroscience knowledge to case studies of children with CVI to experience how a better understanding of the brain and CVI leads to a deeper understanding of how to evaluate and support individuals with CVI. |
