Cerebral Visual Impairment: Free Training Lessons from CVI Scotland
Submitted by Charlotte Cushman on Feb 24, 2020
CVI Scotland offers a series of free online lessons, which are designed to teach people from any background the basics about cerebral visual impairment. Dr. Gordon Dutton provides short video lectures, followed by simple explanations using many diagrams and images specifically created for this purpose. The early lessons cover an introduction to the brain, how we learn and an introduction to the different visual areas of the brain.
