Morning Session Presenter: Ilse Williams, PerkinsTitle: The CVI Protocol: A framework for describing CVICortical/Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) is the leading cause of visual impairment in developed countries. There are many common associated conditions, such as Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and a range of genetic syndromes.Combining information from current research in the field, listening to the stories of individuals with CVI, and learning from our own CVI assessments of students with CVI, Perkins has created a new framework for understanding CVI, called The CVI Protocol. This Protocol outlines 16 visual behaviors and associated compensatory strategies that together describe how individuals with CVI can be impacted. This presentation will define each area, outline potential implications, and describe ideas for accommodations and strategies, while weaving through stories from individuals with CVI.Afternoon Session Presenter 1: Willow FreemanTitle: Braille s Dynamic FutureSession participants will learn three differences between the BRF, explore three ways that eBRF will meet the needs of current and future technology and understand the nuance and important of braille formatting and how eBRF will preserve it for the reader s benefit.Afternoon Session Presenter 2: Olaya Landa-Vialard, Ph.D.Title: Making Connections with Families, Transitions, and Careers with the APH ConnectCenter.Learn about technology resources from the APH ConnectCenter that you can share with families and colleagues. |
