What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a printed guide from APH focused on the social and emotional dimensions of raising or supporting a child with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) — a brain-based visual condition that affects how a child processes what they see. CVI is frequently misunderstood even among professionals, and families often struggle to find resources that go beyond the clinical and address day-to-day emotional and relational challenges. The guide is written for both parents and practitioners, making it useful whether you're a caregiver trying to understand your child's experience or a teacher/therapist building your knowledge base. This is a companion resource, not a standalone intervention — it works best alongside a formal CVI assessment and an educational or therapeutic plan. It covers ground that clinical manuals typically skip, which makes it genuinely useful, but it won't replace hands-on guidance from a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or certified CVI specialist.
