Seminars at Hadley Presents: Understanding Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)

Date: Friday, October 21, 2011

Time: 10:30 AM CDT, 15:30 GMT

Cortical visual impairment (CVI) is a complex neurological disorder wherein the
eyes and optic nerves appear healthy but the part of the brain that interprets
visual signals is not working properly. It is a brain condition, not an eye
condition. CVI causes individuals to have difficulty using the visual input
they receive. It affects each person in different ways, depending on the area
of the brain/visual pathway involved. This often makes diagnosis and treatment
difficult and demands that education and rehabilitation efforts be tailored to
the unique needs of the individual.

Join Seminars at Hadley as Dr. Kia Eldred talks about CVI, including information
on causes, symptoms, diagnosis and current thought about treatment and
intervention.

This 60 minute seminar will be moderated by Hadley ambassador Billy Brookshire.
A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar. There is
a US $25 fee associated with completing the seminar for credit (1 CE hour).
Professionals interested in receiving continuing education credit will be
required to successfully complete a quiz and brief survey before a certificate
is issued.

Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you know you are
available to attend so that others are not closed out. [1]To register for this
