Information Workshop on CVI (Cerebral Visual Impairment)

The CVI Special Interest Group* is made up of professionals from multiple organisations in Ireland who support children with CVI. We are hosting a workshop for professionals in Ireland, who work with children and adolescents and particularly those who are currently working with a child who has a diagnosis of CVI. Through a series of presentations, participants will learn about Cortical/Cerebral Visual Impairment, its diagnosis, assessment procedures and how to consider CVI as a differential diagnosis in autism assessments. The second half of the workshop will focus on practical strategies for adapting learning, therapeutic and assessment environments for best outcomes. This workshop may be of particular interest to medical professionals, psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, teachers and SNA’s.
