CVI Complexity Sequences App
$78.54
The CVI Complexity Sequences App is an iPad-style learning tool built around ten sets of target images, used to build visual learning for children who have cortical visual impairment (CVI), a brain-based form of vision difference. The image sets are arranged in sequences of increasing visual complexity, so the child's viewing can be built up step by step rather than all at once. It's meant to be used with a child, not handed over to run on its own. A teacher of students with visual impairments, a vision specialist, or a therapist who knows the child's CVI profile can choose which sets and steps fit that child, and that choice is what makes the app useful.

Cortical Visual Impairment: Advanced Principles
$45.95
This book is a follow-up to APH's earlier CVI text on assessment and intervention. It goes deeper into topics like literacy, social skills, and orientation and mobility (O&M, which is learning to travel safely) for students with CVI. It also covers students who have CVI along with other disabilities, such as complex communication needs and hearing loss. The authors look at a student's whole day, including the tasks, interactions, and places they meet, to show how each can be evaluated and adapted to build visual skills. It's written for teachers and other professionals, and it makes the most sense if you already know the basics of CVI. It comes as a made-to-order print book or a digital file; the digital version needs an EPUB reader.
