[NFB-VT] CVI (Cerebral Visual Impairment) Discussion Group Opportunity

[Katie Lane-Karnas]

Mae and I wanted to let NFBVT folks know about a resource for children with brain-based blindness (Cerebral Visual Impairment) and their parents/carers. We are on the organizing team for a virtual, free discussion group focused on topics related to CVI and increasing sharing lived-experience learnings from CVIers and their families. If you know a kiddo or young person with CVI lacking support and community, please do share that two of our NFBVT members are working on this opportunity.

Upcoming meeting announcement:

The Smith Kettlewell Eye Research Institute (SKERI) and Chandna SeeLab at SKERI are hosting the sixth discussion group of this year for parents/carers of children with Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) and older children with CVI (attended with their parents/carers).

The invited presenter will be Andrea Montaño, MA, OT/L, DSIII Developmental Vision Specialist at NMSBVI Early Childhood Programs. Andrea will be presenting on Early Identification of CVI: Supporting Families on Their Journey. Dr. Arvind Chandna will be presenting a Clinical Knowledge Series talk on Vision in the Early Years.
