My son was diagnosed with Cortical Visual Impairment in 2011. Ever since, I learn as much as I can about CVI, including through Perkins' education programs, and work to increase awareness of CVI. My son and I live in Seattle and enjoy hiking, biking, and going to the beach. I created the website Start Seeing CVI and Facebook page in response to the overwhelming need for awareness around CVI in our kids.
