[Pibe-division] Working with CVI Students

[Gail Bryant]

Thanks Greg.  Some of these students are nonverbal and all of them are very
low functioning.  Tomorrow is my first day working these kids and so I'm
feeling like a fish out of water even though I've read tons of stuff.

Hi Gail,

APH maintains a helpful website on CVI. The sections on environmental
supports and intervention strategies may be most useful. The address is:

http://www.aph.org/cvi/index.html

 

The University of Nevada, Reno also has a useful tip sheet on CVI. The last
page lists strategies for working with children with CVI. It can be found
at:

http://www.unr.edu/educ/ndsip/tipsheets/cvi.pdf 

 

Hope these help,

Greg
