September is CVI Awareness Month!
September has been declared CVI Awareness Month! As the leading cause of visual impairment in children in the United States and other developed countries, teachers, therapists, families, medical professionals, and other members of the community have been trying to raise awareness about this condition. While all children are different, we offer many strategies for literacy activities and modifications on this website. In addition, CVI Now has many useful resources.
